The question is^ does the buying
public get i re^l bang for their bud, or simply
end up enguKed in the sftiRhgd ot endless
investment and upgrades?
Cpven the money and rnarketing lavished on
the new breed of so talbd 'user fnendV PCs,
it would seem there's no choice when it
comes to home coitipuSng. Like a double seat
on the train, you've got to get in ftr^ - stocks
wont last, buy or be layghed at The nnarketing
pressure is intense.
There's no fest byte, the all poweifui PC ste
in shop fronts across the land struggling to
scroll a seemingly ind1e$4 stream of virtues
before the eyes erf any uuou!d-be investoT^. II
you want the be^ you've got to pay for it Tbe
questkifi is^, whaf s on sale here - the machine
or the marketing?
Just six months ago a friend of mine quite
rightly tired of the seemingly endless wait for
the Amiga to gel back on its little rubber feet.
After lots of reading and research he opted for
a cfuality PC. Even after a lot of bartering his
new baby still weighed in at a hefty EJAQO^
Probleivi child
At the time this new 'all singing ail dandnr^
sibling ift^as the apple of his daddy's eye.
Unfortunately, just six months on this rapidly
ageing 4S6 DXll has become something of a
problem child.
The Pentium is now well anrf truly ruting
the foost and his train spotting, acne ridden
DK is rapidly becoming a computing wall-
Bower. The gjossy garrves that added so much
attraction to the initial investment now
demand a Pentium to deliver the promi$e
so lavishly emblazoned in print and on the
packaging.
Like the average hot-hatch, his fotrner pride
and ^oy would be lucky to generate a difcrd of
its showioom asking price out on the street
And y^, I know Amiga's depreciate as well,
but the pain of depreciation is directly linked
to the initial investment. And in relation to
the PQ that's one area in which the Amiga
ceftainty scores some points.
Of course, pride and poverty doesn't entef-
tain the idea of selling up. After all 'it's still a
serious machine that can run everything a

games and still be taken seriously. Man.
machine and maTk.eting in perfect tu rmoil.
The question of keeping up with the Jones',
Pentiums, P6s is a familiar tale across every
platform, including the Amiga. Hovuever, the
forgotten hero does have few distina advan-
tage in the dog eat dog wodd of the PC.
Not leait of these is a generic background.
Every Amiga sold has a standard architectuie
and aMvough this can be expanded upon with
assorted accelerators and ad-ons, the basic
stfuciure remains he same. As a consequence^
developers aie tofced to work wHhin prede-
fined guidelines which in the bng tem benefit
all.
It's true there's a fair amount of diversity
within the platform as a whole, but as a gen-
eral njle there is a degree of unfonnity which
goes a long way to tombalting the evolutson^ry
freniy that dogs the PC
The relaunch ot the A 1200 may not be a
tech no logical breakthrough, but at least it
offers an alternative to confusion, unnecessary
expenditurer and the marketing hype that sur-
rounds the corvstantly changing landscape d
the PC market
Perhaps the most important question for
any would-be byy^f '^ "o* w^ich machine Is
the most powferful, but which is the most
appropriate. The gloss and glamour of the
Pentium and Microsoft marketing machine
leads many to overlook the re^il issues.
If s all too easy to tall into the dinner party
bore mentality and iust% ^w\ investment by
reassuring yourself and others that if you
Granted too, you could run Photoshop,
QuarkXPress^. MiH:rosoft Word and ^ on. But in
the co<d light of day, are you ever really likely
to? - e$pedally considering that just on^ of
these blue chip applicaftion^ could buy you an
The ads are glossy, the hype is
at feverish pitch, but is there
really a sale distance when it
comes to the PC explosion?
entire Amiga^ Admittedly, PC games and
indeed some applitations are pulling away
from their Amiga counterparts, but so are their
prices and the cost in hardware required to
nin them.
O CHANCE
Don't get me wrong. A 1 0OMHi Pentium with
16Mb of RAM, a quad-speed CD-ROM and 17
inch monitor is i very respectable machine-
But don't expect to get much change out of
OOOO, And be \rvaTned - this sort of spec is
r^klty becoming the entry point for a PC with
more than a six month shelf live.
Contrast that against the £350 asking price
for an A12C>0 and you have a real incentive to
look long and hard at your reasoning. There
are aJmost as many reasons for investing in a
computer as there are computers on the mar-
ket However, K you are in the market, make
sure you're buying the m^achine and not |^st
the marketing that surrounds it By the way.
this shouldn't be a problem on the Amiga, as
there isn't any,.. j^j- "

QOSITIVE VIBES FROM AMIGA ^ TECHNOLOGIES
Despite setbacks regarding the com-
palibility of the new Amiga drives,
Amiga Technofogies have announced 3Qm&
positive de^eloprnents tor the bture- of the
Amiga.
Gilles Bourdin, Head at Public Relattans
for Amiga Techndtogies, was positive about
Iht company's forthcoming plans and was
keen to express his deijght at the response
to ihe recent Paris Amiga show held this
December. He remarked: "In spite oi the
;3ct France was in chaos [because of the
strikes] many people still cgme." It was esti-
mated that between ^,UQQ and 4,000 peo-
ple turned up to see, amongst other things,
the new Amiga 4000 Tower with the O&O
processor. Demonstrated on It was TV
Paint3.6 with a Wacom Art Pad. "People
were very excited by the speed oi the
set-up" Bourdin continued. A question
and Answer session took place on the
Sunday.
AT ha^e also unveiled more on their
mystefy internet package due for release in
January. An exact price was not revealed
although they stated that it would be
below 1 500 DM (around £60€} and would
include all the software needed to get on
the Internet bundled with an A 1200. This
would indude a PC Slot (Vlodem. TCP/IP

months for a competition from Amiga
Technologies. The competition will be aimed
at bringing out fresh talented Amiga
pfogrammers and artists, and will be run
over 12 months and be divided into two
sections.
One is to program a deimo such as a utility
or game and the other is for budding artists
to create something arty on the Amiga.
The competition will be gpen to all
readers UK and overseas and the prize
may be a trip to the Solectron factory in
France.
Jonathan Anderson, Managing Director
for the UK commented: 'There are lots of
talented people out there. We want them to
help make the Amiga shine'
Netscape was being ported over to the
Amiga was denied. Bourdin stated: There
will be a lot of new software coming out
For the Amiga soon frdrti companies that
have never developed for the Amiga before
who previously work on PC and Mac prod-
ucts. There will be some Web Bfowsers of
very high-quality but we are definitely not
dealing with Netscape."
However, another lumour doing the
rounds was validated ^t the recent press
conference in Hannover. It was believed
that App^e had offered Amiga Technologies
a port of QuicltTime and at the conference
which was attended by Executives from
Apple, Germany, the deal was confirmed.

the Epson Stylus Color Printer. The Endicor
driver is supplied as both an Amiga prefer-
ences driver and a standalone printing pro-

TO FLY
I t's b&en months in development but Oc^an have now anngunced that TFX is goirg ta
i come out on the Amiga after all. Arrriga Computing inve^igated claims thst it wa$n"t
gnirg to be relidsed when a disgruntled reader called us, angiy at ha-i^ing upgraded hi5 Amiga
specifically for the forthcoming flight sim to be then told that it w^sti^t coming out at alL We
re^evved the game back in May 1995 from the final ArnignD version and found it to be an
excellent game with the except Jor of a few bugs. We were al&o concerned that the gam^
would not run satisfactoriEy on a standard At 200 which we teported at the time
According to a spokesman ffdm Oceans DID decided it wasn't good enough and despite
problems with the original programmer, pressed on to make a version they were happy with.
We can happily report now that the game will be released in April and we hope to bring yoij a
re-rewiew as soon as possible.
DID are also continuing to support the platform with another titie in the pipeline. Details are
sketchy at the moment but well bring you more as we get it

QUMOUR OF NEW AMIGA OS
Amiga Computing haye heard on the grapevine of a new operating system for the Amiga.
The information we have received so fa? is that it is not WB V4.1 and is a new third- party
OS. Apparently it's written in 'C and therefore PawetPC native. From the rumour we heard, it
wilt 'change tlie w^y you will use your Amiga' because of a system that works with 'modules'
and a language similar to ARexx. Hmm,.
QPRINGFIELD OFFER AMIGA TUITION
Essex-based Springfield Multi
Media have announced theJr
latest initiative to give owners the
most benefit from the new Am^ga
packs. The company have esspanded
the pack with extra memory, a LIOOO
genlock, and half a day of training on

The company commented: 'Quite
often new Amiga users, particularly
with video in mind, are left to :Strug-
gle, often buying inappropriate
software and hardware and rarely
obtaining the full benefit of their
purchases. Our new Amiga pack
represents excellent value for money
by packaging rt wr^ additional mem-
ofy and a superb genlock, together
with ouf training session^ to make
sure the user is all set to gain immedi-
ate benefit" The complete package is

If the thought of the dentists drill instils deep fear in you
then worry no longef because Virtual Products have a new
apprQa£:h that could take the dentist-day blues a way.
Virtual Products^ the company behind the virtual reality
headset i-gl asses are now installing the headset into dentists
surgefies to take the patient's mind off the treatment they're
having.
The glasses allow the patient to
watch 5D films or itsten
to music videos but
because of the
glasses' size and
weight, the dentist
can stii) access the
patient's mouth easily.
Thraugh the headset
the patient can eiLperience the effect of a two metre
screen with stereo sound. The glasses can dispiay 2
or 3D video, PC games and television. They are
compatible with standard video output and can be
connected to an Amiga, Apple or JBM PC,
Denis Premiski, Virtual Product's General Manager
commented: "The i-glasses are esctfeTriely adaptable and can
be applied to many different situationSr with dentistry as just
another application." He continued: ^In this case, it provides
considerable benefits to both dentist and patients, creating a
rdaxed environment and Siatisfied customers,"

Extracting disks
Befar-e you even think of putting the
cDver disks anywhere near your cdm-
puter vciu should make sure yov Mirite
protect them. By moving the black tib
in the top earner of the disk, so y^" '
can see tlirough the hote, you prevent
your disk^ being damaged in any way.
Tliere should be no reaion why the
cover disks need to be written to, »d
even if the computer asks you to v«ite
enable the disks, don t do it
To extract th^ programs off (lie sec-
ond dish you must ifiake sure you have
booted your computer with the first
cover disk, otherwise your Amiga witi
not be able to find the c:lnstaller pro-
gram, and frustration wilt soon set in.
To extract «ny single archive, simply
doubte-ctick its icon and follow the on- ,
screen instructions. If you want to
quickly extract the program to RAAA.
select the NOVICE level on the wel-
come screen and press proceed once
on the cun-ent screen, and then again
on the next The program can then be
found in your RAM> disk.
You also have the option of using a
floppy disk. If you pick this option,
make sure you have a blank fomiatted
disk at the ready, and if you only have
one drive get leady for lots of disk
swapping and a long wait

ImageVision
Requires 5Mt RAM
Specifications
To easily run ImageVision from Workbench you need 3Mh of RAM. Unfortunaldy. there i^ nc
easy way around ttirs. it's just ihat to get tte &prt of features thai ImageVision provides \'U'd
need a lot of RAM. Having said \h^% it is just possible to get ImageVision up and runnmg an a
2Mb machine.
This will still allow you try out the proeram, but you will not have veiy much memory' eli
over. 2Mb owners will have to do the fnlloiAjritig: after you have instalEed ImageVision irfcto, sajfp
your Work; partition, reset your machine and hold down both the mouse buttons. This brings
up the Amiga's early startup menu, and here you ju$t click on the boot w#h no ifortup button
This starts your Amiga with the absolute minimum amour^t of Stufi in, memory. To ryn
ImageVision you need to type the following,

Screeri Menu is a liny fitlle program that adds a well needed hinction
tp youT Amiga's screen bar in the form af a new selectable menu from
the screen cycle gadget, in the top right of the screen. This menu lists
all the currently opened screens and by selecting one you can jump
straight to it. Thi* saves you having to individually flick through each
one -- if you have a lot of screens Open you can end up flicking past the
one you war^t and have to cycle through them fill over again.
ScreenMenu can be started from either Workbench or the shell.
There are a couple of
tooltypes in the infotmation
requester that change
how ScreenMenu works.
Qualifiers can be set to on
or off, and if it is on you
have to press the shift key
bdore the menu will
appear. There is also a Oelsy
option 50 that if you do not
use a qualifier, you can set a
short delay before the menu
appears m that the screen
cycle gadget can be used s$
normal.
Amiga Computing
This wiH now start Im-ageVismn but you will only have around 550k to play around with, To
get some more memory there are a coupte of other things you can do. From withiii
ImageVision itself you should select a non-interlaced screen mode. You can also remove a cou-
ple of files from the ImageVision directory. If you seled: show di Hies from the Workbench
menu and go into the system drawer, ddete the pattern drawer md then go into the modules
drawer and delete the Ewo Mpeg module files. This s&ve further memory when you ryn
ImageVision. You may even want to remove the Anim modules.

Hillsea Lido Demo - the seaside
MANAGEMENT SIMULATOR.
Author Vutcati SoftmTC
Workbench 2.04
Vour business proposals have been
approved by the loc^l authorities and they
h^ve wished you every success with v^^Ll^
seaside development project. Vou have been
granted 20 metres of beach and correspond-
ing promen^der plus full ownership of the
Pier Theatre. Vou will h^ve the opportunity
to expand your resort up to a maximum $iie
of 200 metres in the future. How you
choose 10 manage y^ui resort is entirely
your concern, but the authorities maintain
the right to reward or penaliise you in areas
that remain under their jurisdiction.
Hillsea Lido is a seaside management
si mutator. In effect this me^ns you are given
access to all the elements needed to turn an
empty stretch of beach into a thriving resort
It sounds easy enough but the rea% is far
more complicated. You will need to show
real flair as an entrepfeneur in order to use
the different elements of the game to your
advantage.
Hilisea Lido is a mouse-driven game, and
most of ihe icons in the g^rr\^ have two or
three functions. For example, when increas-
ing the selling price of, say, the candy floss,
you tan use the left mouse button to
increase the total by one, the right mouse
button to add ten, or both mouse buttons to
add a hundred. Also, the strolling action
area can be speeded up using combinations
of mouse buttons, if you are in any doubt,
ju$t eipefiment and you will soon iind vari-
ous short cuts that allow you to control the
game in the way you want. T^e first thing

you see when starting Hillsea Lido is 20
metres of empty promenade. Behind the
Promenade is your beach which can be
accessed by clicking the LMB on the beach
icon at the bottom of the screen. The^e two
are known as the Action Areas and are
where the results of all your decisions take
place. When your resort eventually e^ipands
you will then be able to scroll left and right
along its entirety by using the arrow icons
at the bottom of the screen. The main icons
are situated beneath the Action Areas and
allow you to access the different elements
of Hillsea lido-
Catalogue
SeaOreams wares are displayed in a cala-
togue which is relevant to whether you are

screen applies to the promenade and the
fight to the beach. Find out more informa-
tion about each character with the LMB,

The tourist screen allows you to find out
all sort of information about the people that

seven ratings pn your be^ch. When they
visit a shop three bars appear rating the
poEiteness of the staff, pricing, and how
clean the shops and beach are. The other
four at the bottom of the screen relate to
how much they want of the following:
sugar, hunger, thirst and souvenirs. They wi[l
also tell you what they would like you to
build ne^, and the customer is always right
- so you'd better listen.

and then drag the Tritus drawer to whichever destina-
tion drawer you want it to go in. You will then be able
to open up the Tritus drawer and double-cEick on the
cute icon. It will even quit back to the Workbench.
Tritus demo
Author: Davin Pearson
Workbendi 2.04
So you think you At^ a hard Tetris player do
you? Well, as the old saying goes, yc*u ain't
seeti nothing yet. Tritus is a bit of a turbo
Flutter, fuel-injeaed Tetris, a power-upped,
monger-infested, multi-player, evil addictive
garrte. Once you ^rt you cannot stop.
Trilus is a simultaneous three-player
Tetris-style gamer but with ^ twist or two
and the odd surprise up its sleeve^ When
you first start the game and get past the
initial intro you will see three game areas
with a press fire message.
Tritus can have up to three players on at
OiK2r but do not worry if you have no
friends, or that no-one is around to play as
the computer will take control of the remain-
ing players. If you do play against the
computer you can cheat and get a few sec-
onds head start by quickly hitting your fire
button - that is if you are the sort of person
withTFifiis
who does cheat Once you are off the mark
the idea of the game is the same as Tetris,
that by liliing up a full horizontal line you will
remove it, but in this game di:ijng that adds a
line to your competitors' $reas^ if you manage
to do frve lines in orte go, the most possible^
you are congratulated with a screen shudder-
ing thud and a flash guitar rift.
It does not stop there. Evefy now and again
a littfe blue greebty will drop down everyones
Screen ^nd start to eat away at your block
destroying all the hard vuork you ftave done.
To stop it just drop a block on its sorry head,
and watch it go squish with all its bodily fluids
dribbling down the screen - mmmmm.
Ffnally, there are other power- ups available
such as giving your enemies horribly shaped
blocb for a short time, or makmg all their
blocb invisible.

can mer^ge maps to create a single new map
file, so Temoving the hassle of fiai^ng to load
muftiplE maps in die fir^ place^
Guiding your way around the map is a very
simple business - you can use the cursor keys
to strdl around or for lap;ger jumps the propor-
tional slider? are available. An elastic band
zoom enables you to gel a closer look at which
ever ro&d& or towtis take your fancy, Even on a
plain Al 200 the map redraws are very quick -
you wiP have to start twiddling you thumbs if
you load both the UK ^nd German maps and
loom rigtift out, but then yoo are being a bit
silly so it serves you right
If the screen refresh is not quick enough,
due to there being too many roads of towns
being drawn, there & a compfehens^rve set df
drawnng tools to allow you to pneose^y choose
what should or should rral be sfiown on ine
map. From the point of view of drawing die
Und, things like islands and rivers can be
removed, along with the ability to tell AmiAtlas
no^ to boltier colouring in the land and sea -
this woold also be helplul if you are running in
less tfian 16 colours.
^OAD MAPPING
AmiAtlas has a fatrfy stftrghtforaward way ct
organising the roads and towns, going from
minor back roads up to motorways^ and from
capitals to driv^ through to towns. Using the
Map Detail reque$tar you can specify exac-Jy
which roads and towns should be dispfayed. it
is also possible to show motorway ciflss overs
and exits. Other details that can be viewet
park$, hotels and rivers. Unfortunately.

IQ tie accompanfyrng German map this is fakly
sparse,, as the Cerman map has full detail an
totels yau can stay at_ Just ask to view the
hotels and a bunch erf Irtlle bed symbols will
appear on the German nrHp. Click on one of
thtm and you get a full run down on that
tatd, induding the full address, phone and fax
fwmbers, how much rooms are, what you get
in l:he room?, what other typ^s of functions
they do, and wtiat credit card$ they take -
pretty extensive t would say. The same goes
for amusemEnt parks, with AmiAtlas giving
you mformaiSDri about how much it is to get in
mi what rides and attf actions each park has.
II you wanted, it is possible to enter new
towns and roads, so if new road roiiles do
appear you can ypdate the AmiAdas map. This
process is fairty painless. To add a new town
you just have to dick on the map where the
new tdwn should be placed. You d>en, using
cHe pap up gadget, sefect which countiy and
county die town should be placed in, along
wAh which roads should run into it. The same
pfocess is used to add new roads - you tin
just pick the start and destination towns, along
with wti^t the road should be called m6
htm Igng it Ss. The new road is then
added to the map database,
and will be used in any
future route calculations.
The main use of
AmiAdas is to help you
wffijck out the best route
to take foF a certain
journey. In dciing this
AmiAtlas can work out \u

A good feature here is that you can enter

AmiAtlas also stof es previously used names in
the pop up gadgets, again allowing you to

you have you can change the Km/hr value.
You also need to set up the correct speed lim-
its fof motorways and dual carriageways - or
eupo roads as AmiAtlas relefs to them. This is
made a little trickier as the speeds are all in
kibmelTes.
When it comes to setting a route, there are
two ways to enter it Eitfier c-'ick on the start
and fin ish location, which means that fioth the

Hie only real discrepancy was the amount
of time the trip would take. The time calcula-
ted by AmiAtlas would normally only be
around 2/ J of what the trip woufd actually
take. For instance, it reckoned it should take
me 20 minutes to get to work, Even with good
traffic this figure should be more like 35 min-
utes, but othenA^ise the planned route was

and UK maps visible along with any others you
may add. Unfortunatety, you cannot plan routes
from the UK to Gennany as there is no French
map to fill the gaps in between, and the
absence of any ferry mutes or a channel tunnel
route would also make it a little difficult It
would be interesting to see if this would be
possible if you did have the French map, and
such things like ferry routes were taken into
account
The main problems with AmiAtias alt come
atK3Ut because it is a German product K you
were German you would not have any com-
plaints with the program, but Enf^ish people
are generally different and can be a Me pid?y
about things. It is a little annoying tf^t you have
to tell it that you are working in English, and
that you also need to state that you want
money to be worked out in pounds. Fair

you to change the currency and language, but it
would be nice if it could do this automatically^

FEBRUARY 1996
0yer since mankind fiist picked up
a slick or rock and thuftiped it on
something ek^ in order to create
something, we have been fasci-
nated by building things with our bare hands.
Our tools were al first primiftive; flint replaced
wood, bronze replaced flint, iron replaced
bronie, but we used them to help us develop
other useful things such is transport and
shelter.
In recent years our cars, aeroplanes and
buildings have become so complex that we
use computers to help us make them instead
of set square*, axes and magnifying gtasseSj
and building things has become 5 more
abstract process. There are people alive today
who could build b complex mntorcar or an
office block that have never done so In the
real world.
Computer world
their adiieviements are all based in the virtu-
al world of the computer Even films are
being made on computers with silicon actors
replacing the real thing. Films like Disne/s
Toy Story or ITV's ReBoot ^re paving the way
foPA/ard using the latest technology to build
their worlds.
So welcome to the wonderful wOTid of 3D
according to Cinema^D. Ifs a new package
of German origin on offer from HiSoft
Systems and is a low-cost competitor to the
likes of Imagine, Real 303 and Lightwave.
But before we start comparing features, let's
have a look at the product Cinema4D comes
on six diisks which have to be installed on a
mininium of a Workbench 2,04 machine with
9Mb hard disk space, but Cinenia40 definit-
ely prefers Workbench 1 and tike$ advantage
of the AGA chipset to the full.
If, like me, you have an older ECS
machine, but you have a graphics card, then
Cinema40 will happily work on a high reso-
lution display, but it seems that the current
version isn't overly keen on chunky pixel
screenmodes, so it might be best to run on a
planar screen if your RTC software supports
it
Usually, the conversion is only run on

biLplanes, so you might be able to get around
it that way - the only thing you'll lose is the
ability to render in a window on the
Cinema4D screen as the interface itself only
relies on a four colour palette. Other than
that, unlike current versions of LighlW^ve and
ImaginB, there are no limitations for graphics
card owners and considerable advantages^
the most obvious of ^ich is the increa^scc
fineness of the vectors used to represent
objects on the screen which is a definite help
v4ien your scene is getting cluttered.

differenl views, all at once qt one at a time. If
you want to you can fun more than on-e
niain window to give you a number of differ
ef!t views erf your stene. To save space, your
toolbojc icon^ are actually pop-up fnenu$
wttich sa^e further space by doubling up
their functions. This is also a time-saving
feature and one that comes in very handy.
Pop-up
Tlie way it works is ttist if you select orw of
these pop- up options it works usrng the
ddaults set into the profgjam, but if ydu are
hfilrfin^ dcnnm the shift key or using the right
mouse button to pop up the menu, releasing
the mouse button over a pop-up menu item
i^ll open a dialogue window to let you alter
the settings the Item will use. For instance, if
you choose the cube item from the 'Create
primitive' pop-up menu. Cinenia40 will
diruck out 3 cube 200mm across by default.
However, if you hold down rhe shift key
iMiife selecting ihe cube, you will be pr^ent-
ed wilJi a numeric requester in which to put
ihe dimensions of your object.
The same principle applies to menu items
as well as the pop-ups, although you are
otiwoiisly restricted to using the shift key to
get to the settings requesters as you are
already using the right mouse button to
open itie menus in the first place. However,
what js odd is the fact that with all this space
samg Cinema4D stiti offers you both a disc
primitiye and a cylinder objea even though
you could always just extrude the disc.
The same applies for the cube and rectan-
gie items aid it doe^ seem odd that you can
mif enter one dimensian for a cube (side
fcnglti). Okay, so a cube is supposed to have
equdi length sides all round, but it would be
nwre ergofiomic to allow the user to enter
i\i the dimensions of the cube to create
bi^es of differing siies more quickly than
hauing to scale the cube in different direc-
rions 10 create the same effect
This is the main problem with Cinema4D
and it also plagues Imagine (to a greater
extent I would say). The way the interface
worts isn't as Huid as it could be, forcing the
user to use an a¥^ward combinalnon of the
mouse and keyboard to achieve what she
iit-e<b tp. Working vuith a rt^ouse is great if

you are just starting out with a package -
some people rely solely on their mouse
skills, never touching a keyboard sfiortcut -
but most people want their vvork to progress
as speedily as possible, so therefore want to
be able to circumvent the sometimes
lengtliY process of moving the mouse to and
fro to go from the object to the toolbar and
back to the object and so on. Cinema4D has
a number of shortcuts, especially for the
menu itemsy but needs a method by which
you can select the move, scale and rotate

be noted mcfude the separate ray tracer

also has an object converter that wHI
read a wide variety of objects and cal^

functions more easily than by using the

Cinema4D isn't any good, it has some
absolutely superb methods of working
induding an object hierarchy similar to that
used by Real3D. In fact, if you have used

and Melt. Melt does exadly what you might think and is
actually a bit limited in its uses. You con almost do exac^
wfiut M^a does by strewing your object vertscaHy down to
nothing over the course of your anima^n, white stretching
it out harizontaiiy to make it toaic lih a puddle i$ beir^g
created.
Havtng said that, it is nice that Cinema4D provides an
option to do this automaticofly, saving you the troubie. Of
course, it doesrj't do any of tfie funicy things that Dynomation
con do like melting your d^jed so that it pours down u funr^el

Cinema 4D has features such as the autom-

use maths in numeric requestefs (if you ^an't

On the minus side, Cinema4D won't work
with Postscript fonts (just tike old versions of
fleaE3D, fonts have to be built by hand and are
all separate ob|ect5. You are supplied with two

j*"Tfc^,^ 1 9^5 was not the kindest of years
" [ for Amiga stat warts Softyvood.
J While the return oF the Amiga to
Jl prDductior was good news for
any company in the market the absence of
dny of Softwood s software from Amiga
Technologies' Magic Pack must ha^e been a
worrying issue for the makers of sych wd'l
known programs as Final Writer.
Worse still, srch- rivals Digita International
had a virtual monopoly on the contents of
the pack as far as the serious applicatiotis
were concerned. While the bundle represen-
ted a reasonably good deal for the consumer,
it must have made ftvai% wonder if continued
development of tfieir products were worth-
while^ After at!, how many new Amiga own-
ers are going to buy something like Final
Wrrter if they aSready ha we a wordprotessoi
supplied for free?
Nevertheless, Final C^lc has now been
released after four ye^rs d developmei'it, and
the initial comparison w^th the Magic Pack's
Turbo Calc looki favourable. The question iSr
however, does it offer enough that's new to
win a lar^e user base of its own?
Interface
To begin wfith that all important interface,
Final Calc doesn't look quite so polished as
PC industry standards like Excel and Lottis
l-2-3r ^^ essentially the introduction of tool
bars and drag and drop data manipulation
follows theit example in creating a tser-
friendly ertvifonment. As you'd expect Irom
any professional Amiga program, you can
control many functions in a variety of ways,
from using drop down menus to keyboard
short cuts.
Important for the beginner is Rnal Calebs
on-line help facility . Whenever you select ^
command Irom a menu it will usually give
you an explanatory option from an
AmigaGuide. What's more, the instructions to
be found are more helpful than the token aid
you get from too many Amiga on-line help
guides. Rernember also that Softwood have a
help forum in which you can get technical
advice on CompuServe. Equaily valuable tor

iha CDum
In Final Calc Softwood think they've
created the spreadsheet program to beat
them all. Gareth Lofthouse reviews
technically daunting program like a
Spreadsheet, Final Cak's good quality docu-
mentation makes rt woith a few extra bob in
itself, A Ring-binder containing extensrve
chapters on every detail of the program you
could possibly want to know about f eal^ 5et$
an example fof Amiga product we can nnty
hope is followed elsewhere. The only flaw irs
my view is the absense Cif a step-by-step
tutorial, something that makes gettirsg into
the program thai bit more difficult.
T=ortun3tely, behind the glossy exterior you
will find 3 number crunching program q\
immense power and flexibility. There's a
comprehensive array of editing functions
you'd ejepect - for example the ability to edit
formulas and paste filenames, date strings.

There is an extensive vari^ of gn
to chase from, allowing data to be pf\

k yoij will ha(ve gathered if you've read the

towads the ^mart presentation of dala. VWth
this in mind 'Outline Fonts' are used when

print from the printer. It supp<3its Postscript
Type 1 and 5 files and Macintosh ATfW font
files as ^velt as Softwood font files.
Final Cak will also pro^ie valuabEe for those
using industry standard Lotus l-2-3.wkl
spreads-heet files at work, and who occasion-
ally want to work on them on their Amiga at

of file.

this type of program is the ability to impk-

Verdict
So trow does it shape up cjgQtnst tte compel
tioni Well the good news is that Firrot Cak
outclasses ony other Amiga spreadsheet in
tnany respects, its range of mathtrnQticQl
tarmuias should be st/ffioenf even for fuU^ime
accountants, and unlimited undo/redo func-
tions and oniine help ore the sort of functions
that make dnunting pn^grums FTTOfe fo/efffWe
in use.
Of course, final Calc parficuhriy shines
because of its presentation tools. This is not
just a super^doi t)enefrt either, since a range
of graphs give users votuabie choices over
how they p/eserrf their raw data. Whe^er ani-
mation wiit be wQfthwhife for many users or
merely a gimmick is undeur, but it's wofih
giving people the aption so experiment
There are numerous other plus points too,
tike tfw program's support for Lotus J-2-Lwk J
fe. However, though the program can impart
ASCtt fiies from ftnal f}ata. iheyve foiled to fot-
iofw Lotus's emmpie and push Cafe m port of
on overall Amiga suite, for years it's been pos-
sibie to generate a graph in Lotus ?-2-J and
then easily incorporate it into on AmiPro word-
processor documeni so it would make sense
for Sofiwood to advocate o simihr use of Ftnai
Cole ondftnai Writer.
Cencraify, S think more work needs to go
into making final Calc o more instinctive, easy
program to use, ^ugh no numi>er of pre^
icons are going to make a spreadsheet the
eosiest type of software to get to grips wtth.
The online help is a good start and tf^ manu-
al is excellent but some functions stiil seem
unnecessofity ^ompiicoted.
Th&i of course there's tfte matter of price.
Final Calc isn't cheap but then it offers o level
of professianalism that justifies it The Amiga
deserves a spreadsheet package for the more
serious user, and this is certainty a good step
in the righi direction.

Tfie walls are elaborately decora-
ted with garish paintings and ttie
word 'Eureka' is splashed every-
wherei A ridiSY troop of KhooE kids leave the
train and rush down a sandy tr^ck towards an
^udly garish building The venue for the day
Vtfas the Eureka rnyseum in HaErfax, ¥orfahife,
bul immediatdy things seefnect very strange -
th€ many children ail damouring to get in the
dooE^ all looked unusually excited about the
prospect of spending the mofning in a
miiseum
However, Eureka, as \ later fmind out, is no
ordinary n^useum - it's interactive and is
specifically des^gined tor even the most inquisi-
tive of children who want to touch,, explore
even kick the exhibits. As Pippa Hardcastle,
Press and PR CoHDfdinalor for the muse-
um idid me: The chifdren have the
opportuETity fof a 'hands on' eKperi-
tnc^. It makes the learning process
50 much easier,"
The museumi is divided into
three 5ett3on$ and every one of the
350 exhibits has to be as robust
and sturdy as possible - children
will be diildren after all. The first is
Me and My Body where you can
play Digestion Pin ball gr turn the
pedals to see how your skeleton
works. The second is Invent, Create
and Communicate virhere children can
try their h^nd at broadcasting the nevws
and lastly, Living and Wofking Together
where, for instance, the workings of a bath
room are explained. There is also a teurth" in
developmertt called Things.
PPEARANCE5
But what on earth has this got to do wHh the
Amiga? you are probably wondering. Well
believe it or not, l^hind some of the h^-tech
exhibits and interactive displays is actualty a
rather humble iooking Amiga. Well, two
Amigas to be precise. But appearances can be
deceptive because despite the Amiga being
swamped by the many other lomis of techno-
logical machinery that control the museum, the
Amigas operate two of the most rmsginative
displays there.
Walk into the Bedroom section of Living and
Working Together and you will find a display
called Dfean^ and in fninl of you a monrtof.
The inquisitive child will find that when they
face ttie so'een their image ts picked up and
pfojeded onto the rt - much to their ddi|^!
Three backgrounds then run together in
sequence, one being balloons^ the next fish,
and then a 'raining cafts and dogs' storm. The
camera picks up the child's image, digitises it
and the Amiga 5000 puts the whole picture
togethet. On the balloons screen, for ©«m
lie, the child can then move their

Not related to the Amiga, hut also CJ"eated
by Friedman, is the Music Box. Children can
aeate tunes with different parts of the body
such as walkrng across the musical stepping
stones or sitting on each stool which then lets
out a honk from one of the giant horns.
Walking around, you realise just how well
designed Eureka is. Each sectian is geared to
the National Curriculum and because of the
v-ariety, each age and ability seams to be
caftefed for.
Award winning
Eureka are cettainly on to a ^vinning fonnula
with dwir lively approadi to learning. Since it
opened in July \9fBZ it has attracted ewer one
million visitors arwl tbey hope to have this fig-
ure topping K5 million before Easter.
Patronised by HRH The Prince of Wales, the
museum has earned itself 15 top awards
including the 1993 Visitor Attraaion of the
Year from the English Tourist Board. In 1 994
they also won the National Heritage/ IBM
Museum of the Year award for the most imag-
inative use of intefsctive and multimedia tedi-
nolcgy. It seems that this new breed of muse-
um is certainly in demand and people are
fafvouring them in place of the dusty museurre

_ELIEVER IN AMIGA
The Eureka museum in HQUfax is not the only museum to see the virtues
of an Amiga-based system. The London Transport Museum m Covenf
Garden is already trnping the benefits using on Amigo ond CDJ2^ased
system. The CD32s provide tauch saecn computers which dispioy
various inforrnotion ^ch os the Underground hypefmap. But what's par-
ticutarly impressive is the IBIS Underground train simuhtor. The front
iwndobv of the train has been replaced with a computer screen with
graphics contralled by the Amiga 4OTa Two other simutators of dn t890
and J 992 models are contioHed by A2000's.
More recently, Amiga Computing lovered how the London War
Museum use a simitar touch screen system in their building. Scoia's
tnfo^hannei is used to convey information about th^ exhibits on to
screens around Ae museum. There is also a Scala touch screen diSf^ay
used for their Civiiian D^ad ej^hibit.

Pierce Brorsnan
"One of the reasons why
we used the Amiga on
Cotdeneye, or rather
Lightwave, /s because we
had used It on CyberJack.
We knew it as a very, very
good Tenderer"
and Izabellfl Scorupco were wafking afcing.
The same principle applies to the scene
where Scorupco dimbs out of the ruined
radar tower in Siberia and wanders through
the burnmg ruins. Only the path she took
was actually real, with the remainder being
created in modef shops by extreniely skifled
craftsmen. And rt fs in Siberia that the
Amiga's main contribution was made to the
realistic and cheap completion of the film.
Even With the disbanding of the Soviet Union
and the availabifity of Russian airfofce jets to
perform the flying,
how much do you
think it woufd have
cost the producers of
Goldeneye to rent
three MiC-29's (pfus
another to film from)
for the flight past the
radar tower, let alone
the cost of blowing
them up?
^ Well. I don't know
ettherr but it was obvioii-
sfy too much for the produc-
ers who approached AJan Warqtje$
snd the Magic Camera Company to
see if they could do it cheaper. You might
remember Alan Marques from a feature we
did last year about the use of the Amiga in
another fifm - Cyberiack - ^ni he and the
Amigp have been very busy ever since. I
caught up with hirti last
Friday and spoke to
him:
"One of the
reasons why
we used the
mhtttf^hi iiiftQ^t Gplc#ei»«^
O Thm pownF ^iffMurf UffhfWvn thh Raptor
Amiga on Goldeneye, or rather LightWave, is
because we had used it on Cyberiack. We
knew it as a very, very good renderer. We
vueie still using Wavefront as our core system
for some of Gofdeneye, but the Wavefront
renderer isn't very good. It doesn't do motfon
blur or anything like thaL So we had to have
a system that does all that There were these
shots in Goldeneye where they wanted the
MiC-29s coming from infinity - a pinpoint -
and moving towards the camera, roaring
over it m have a motion control rig on M
stage which we used for a lot of the shots in
Cofdeneye, but when you have a 2' minia-
ture of a MiC-39 and you have a 40' motion
control track, you can't gel the model to a
pinpoint, you can get it to about an eighth of
a frame, but you just can't get it any smalfer.
"So, if you're stuck in that position, the
only thing you can do with the motion con-
trol rig is pick the n>odel up as a DVE ^ digi-
tal video effect - i.e. stop the modef at a cer-
tarn poin), pick it up as a cul-dut, then fly the
cut-out off. You probably know, though, that
wrfien you do that there is that nasty point
when you hatj^ to change ov^r aiKl mvariaUy
you'll always get a jump wtieo that happens.
So we elected, because we knew the shots
were high speed and we knew that ihere
was going to be a lot of blur, to da the shots
as a CG effect.
"So basically, what we did was get a
model of an F-15 off the Internet, a really
che^p ^nd nasty 400 paiygon modeL ind did
spme tests with it at vi-deo resolirtion. We got
a load of background ii\lh of deserts and
mountains and Evan (Oavies - one of Alan's
team) did some nice teictuire maps for this
400 polyigon model which was very simple -
the hull was literally only eight sides. We did
the te?ftures for it including the codkpit, etc
and the whole tests were done in one day.

We got the mode! in the morning, did the
textufe maps the same rnorning, and did the
three animations in the afternoon at video
resofution on the backgrounds in Lightwave,
We did the renders of the three of them fly-
ing dver the camera, tendered them all on
the Raptof by five in the evening, and sent a
tape up to Leavesden by the nest morning
and they instantly said, 'Right, do the shots

I asked Alan if he could have done the

was possible - il you had the right software.

added that in his opinion, Lightwave is one
of the fastest Tenderers in the world for
motion blur, ray tracing and so on.
"So we used Lightwave with the F-15s. At
video resolution with three F-lSs, 400 polys
each, full motion hluT, fully ray traced shad-
ows and reflections we were getting about a

epprovedi the shots they said they had three

'Tfte biggest probtem we
had, and the real killer
because Newtek wouldn't
give me a beta copy of
Lightwave 4, was the lack
of a pixel aspect ratio
setting for Lightwave"
Qightwave's missing bits
S'tfice yve were on ffte topk of LightWov^, I asked Ahn
whal h^ thought of LightWuv^ compared to the other 3C?
modelling packages fte ysWn paf^cuhfty those on the SCI.
On the whole, Aton is satisfied with how Lightwave is
turning out, but he smd for film production there were
definiteiy some 0}iirgs f/wf needed impfO)/emef}t:
mAt the momer^t iightWove can only disphy o single one
bitphne image as a background image. What Lightwave
really r}eeds is a way fo show an anitnatian as a ixickdrop
so that 3D objects luomg oemss it tan be checked hr
wf\sistencyr
& Although it is good that Lightwave has now got an
inverse kinematics function, it needs to have several
improvements made to it, namely the abitfty to 'slick' part
of an abject to another object like a foot to the floor or a
hand to a cup, to make it really useful.
B Another Importanl addition to Lightwave's ar]imation
tools would be the possibility to animate a switch between
targets at parent objects so that you could aim a gun at
one object then move the sights onto another in the course
oi an mimation.
W stilt Of] the topic ol animation tools, the way motion
paths are edited in the requester leaves samethifig to be
desired. A Biiier method with handles on the cantral
points would make more sense.
• One of imagine's tools that LightWave could benefit
from is the ability to associate' objects to one another. For
instance^ a rollercoaster animatior^ with several carriages
can be animated travelling along the rails in Imagine rea-
sanably eosiSyr with each carriage following on from the
ane in fronK but In UghtWave you would have to toad the
^ame motion path tn for each carriage and work out an
offset for each key frame..
Overall Alan believes LightWai^'s modeller to be pretty
good but adds (hat there really ought to be a function that
is the opposite of metaform - an intelligent polygon This
would have made the process of simplifying the Viewpoint
Mi&lS down from the IO,0(KH>dd polygons it started as
into the 53 J polygon object it became. An it was, the origi-
nal model had to be loaded into a backgraund layer in the
modeller and traced over - i>;i e^ence the Magic Camera
Company ended up making a whole new model.

Whaf s happened to th^ Srupport for the Amiga comms
scene? I ca^n appreciate that the Iniernet is a massive suc-
cess but there k the large number of BBS 5ite& out tftere
thst you seem to have forgotten. Almost all of the public
domain sector software tf>at gets reviewed in your maga-
zine has originated from various BBS sites, not on the
Internet, Granted, some new stuff does come from the
Internet, but the majority d it originates from the pfivate
BBS scene. I know as over the last two years NFA
PD/Pfoductions have had over one hur^lred revje¥i^ in
various magazines.
When yo4J call a private 6&5, the sysop ha$ controf ovei
what fiSes are available, Tf>e internet is running wild with
pornography, piracy, and files On how to blovif your arms
off- Once a file is on the Internet it is almost impossible to
dteiete a$ tfie file goes to hundreds of srtes within a few
days. A private system is alK3 generally used by only two
OT three people at a time, so the system doesn't slow
down to a snail's pace on a Sunday. However, lhi$ does
restrict the number of users that c^n connect in a 24-hcirur
period, but to compensate f<5^ *his there are hundreds o^
private systems around the world irKluding many eastern
bipc CQurtiies.
As far as e-mail goes, the Internet wiins hands down.
However, there are some realty good mail nelviiorfcj Aat
connect thousands of users across Europe like the A^lssing
Unk and Fidonet to name but two. Most private BBSs v^ll
support at least one of these nettniOrkSL
We should like to see a small area of your magazine
given Over to advertise BBS sites because we feel very
ignored by you and we do reach many hundreds of dedi-
cated Amiga users every day. We organise meetings of
user^ and stands at computer fairs, so we do do our trt for
the Amiga scene.
A point worth mentioning to parents who may be read-
ing these pages is that you shouldn't just buy your child a
modem and give tfiem an hour a day on the phone. Sit
with them and monitor vufiat they are doing as there are
some very strange people out there (peopie who won't
use th^r real jiojties for instant - ES). Give them some
ol your time - even if you don't fully understand what
your child is doing you will recognise titles like
'tandynui^.jpg'r etc
Well that's enough moaning. I would now like to be
blunt and ask for a pfug for our UK bulletin boards. All the
latest issues of The Word are available and people may
vtfish to upload their artkles, etc if they wish them to be
included. All these sites are open from BPM-BAM and are
mail linked.

npatibility with IK! manufacturers and
-ig in a VCA-type graphics card. Even if
-y work out this conflict satisfactorily and
:be ci.i5tom chipsef s favour, they would
J need to do an awful lot of worit witti

QXPANSION ANGST
Who s^ys that good things can't cam^ from bid ones? WJth Amiga Wand's demise I am row
felessed wrtti your publication and J bdieveyou are huin&o Una'.
I share B Nicholson's corrcerns in bis letter in issue A (English rsoders wifl have Mr
NKhoIson 5 /efter m the Nornnber iistie - fSj. As an A50D0 owner I have seen very !We A3D0O
improvemerrtS avaifable in the market {f guess Commodore got it right with this design) To bq
straight to the point, perhaps this tdme Amig^ Technologies' engineers could be challenred to
(fesign a motherboard for the next generation of Amigas that would have a processor slot
vvhere ^e CPU would reside and wouJd be easily upgraded but. mor* importantly, two video
slots where one in«uld be populated by the video displ^ co-processor and video custom
chips on a daughterboard.
Perhaps fhis would solve the dreaded occasions when an improved videc chipset hits the
market and loyaf users were forced to keep up and upgrade, or stagnate wUh eheir old Amigas
Periiaps Escor^ could even gain by manufacturing these video processors and makmg ttiem
available to other video board manufacturers (maybe they will even mske their way into PCs
and Macs thus gaming greater exposure in the market), MaJ(e the Amiga into an open system
I dont want to put down ACA^equipped Amigas but refeasing software solely for these units
actually leaves the rest of the Amiga owners out of the picture. Maybe software Ifbraries and dri-
vers should be produced by Amiga Technologies and p/ovided to Amiga software developer.
Tliese patches would allow software to take advantage of the AGA chipset but afso third-p^rty
video boards. Lef s face H, many Amiga owners are not going to get rid of their units just to get
AGA machines They want to add peripherals (CD-ROMs, ZiP drrves, etc) they can share v^h
another computer, while they wait for the nerf RlSC-b^sed Amfgas to hit the market
J sincerely wish the very best to Escom and their Amiga Technologies division. In order lo
maintain the loyalty of Amiga fans, Escom must show a dedication la continuously improve and
aggressively acfvertise and market Amigas. And if s up to the users to spread the word.
Jose A Ferreifa, Kittgstarsdj Ga USA
Obviously, in the computer worid it is a C0s« of move or die. Commodore relessed some
fine machines and the A3«M)0 was the best of them, but that was five years ago now and it
IS time tu get with the plan. However, as you say, it woufd be better for you to wait for the
new PowerAmiga rather than spending money on a machtne that will be obsolete in about
13 months tirne.
Amiga Technologies face a difficuft task over the coming year in persuading people thai
buying an Amiga actually makes sense. In order to overcome potential purchasers worries
about the Tack of compatibiJity the Amiga has with othef platforms, I thrnk w« wJII see a
move to a more standardised machine, possibly without the custom graphics chipset that
we have become used to, opening the way fof third-party graphics cards to take over the
rnflrPiEl.

Having received your maga^ne fef several
l*di5 n™ i have burlt up a large collection
of your coviif disks. One such disk I now
wish to use regularly is the Febnjaiy 3 9^
mverdisk, The Publisher. In thst issue of the
magaaiine there was m otfei to buy the offi-
cial ftianuil fej ihe progranTr so I bought
the manual and just left it on the shelf
awflitine the time when I would n«d it
The magazine had a sefral number in rt
to override the built-in copy protection m
the Publisher disk once rt was unarchtved,
but, unfortunatdy, I seem to have lost the
magazine with die number rn it. Could
you possibly let me haw the serial num-
ber for the program so that [ can install
the pmgram onto my hard drive and,
more importantly, use rt
CK'fffl&we/t Cdne
n feels (ike we get a request fm this ser-
ial number eveiy three months or so, so
dn keep this copy of the niagBzliie
handyp just in case you mi|h( need hf
Here's the number you need to unlock
Tlie Publisher: G547A45F
Just a note to ask why publishers on the
Amiga dorl look for cross-platform compati-
bility in their productsu I own copies of both
Final Copy and Wordworth, yet f cannot
transfer files between them and my PC at
work without saving out as ASCII and having
to redo alf my layout wo rk.
it just seems like developers Irve in their
Qwn little worids and never pay any atten-
tFon to what's going on around them. If I did
that in my business, I wouldn't make any
money.
The computing industry is probably the
only one where standards are created by
competing companies which can be used
industry-wrde for better a 11- round perfor-
mance, but Amiga software houses seem to
ignore aH of it.
R A Bryani Sh^stow
I falt« Agree. The lack of observation
means that companies end up reinventing
everything from scratch each time wtthout
paying attention to what other penple
aie doing, meaning the Amiga loses
&ut on some handy features like PNC
or support lor word processor fife
fDrmiis.

Qrouble with a PS
I have been an Amigd user for nearly
*" i five years, using an A500. Having
^f seen all the really gflod pfograms
I that you give away on your cover
dbics, I am nc>w getting an A 1200 as I
feet I am imissing out all the time, I have two
qLestiDtts ( hope you can help me cmt wiftfi.
Firstly, where can i buy a PSU plug that
goes jrito the ATniga? I have a&ked alt the
shops in Hull but keep being told thai you
cannot buy them. 1 would like to make my
own wcirkstalion, but I need the plug for the
PC PSU.
My other question is, is! 1 buy an Apollo
1220 for the A 1200, can it: be tumid oft by
some sort of command? I have been
informed that wme games run too fast with
the accelerator in the trap door.
Peter Crainger, Huii
^^
You warrt to make your own
imwer supply unit? I person-
illy wouldn't recommend tt,
unless you Am lOO per cent
sure ds to what y^u are doing. There is
always the rish that you are going to fry
your Arnica, and normally there is not too
much need for a more powcfful PSU.
II \% however, possible to do ^nd there
are a number of fites on Amine! that
explain how to convert a PC power supp^
for use with an Amigs. The most impor-
tant thing \%, you must make sure you get
all the power connections correct other^
wise you will be the proud owner of one
et-Amiga.
The reason you cannot get hold of in
Amiga power plug is that it is^ a none
standard connection, being used only on
Amigas. Th« only way you are going to get
h^ld of one is by Cutting the p fug off your
old Amiga PSU, and then solder the lead
to (he PC power supply.
It would also be advisable to double
check the power output from the PSU
with a miiiti tester, b«for« actually
conneeiing H to your Amiga.
As far as I know, there is no way to dts-
abU the Apollo board without actually
removing it from the trap door. The only
Al 200 accelerators I know of that can be
easily disabled are Ihe Bliuard boards -
with the 1 250 you just hold down the 2
key when you reset the machine and the
entke board is disabled.
Finally, I have not actually played any
games that suffered from having an accel-
erator, and all Doom clones and flight sim-
ulators will benefit with a faster screen
update.

shooting is the game. YouVe

ROTEXT PROCRASTINATOR
Since using a standard A12DD with a 40Mb hard drive.
Protest v4 has obstinately refused to open its window. W
intuition hars been allowed to reset the VVorlcbench ^reen
once or more since boot up, due to any of the screen,
palette or font preferences being in ENV:, PmteKt will
refuse to open its window.
It is possi^ble to get Protejtt to run by either having
Workbench fun in 2 colours - that makes rt look really bor-
fible ~ or not allowing IPrefs to run in the startup-
sequence. The only other way to get Pretext to work is by
using a Workbench screen tiaft ts 1 iOO pixels wide Protext
will then open a huge window that is not at all practical to
use.
Afr ChufTbill, Nomnghcm
Protejfl is quite an old program, and even version 4 was
writtefi wilh Workbench 1.3 in mind. Having said that,
there really should be no problems running such an 0$
legai program, unless it is doing something naughty.
¥«u would normally assumer in this sort of case, that
the program is at fault, but Protext is normally a very
wetl behaved program, and version 4.3 should run
under Workbench 2 without any problems.
Generally, tn these situations you have to assume
that the program is at fault, hut as I have $aid you
should not he having any trouble wJth Protest. Your first
move would be to check (he propam tofil types. From
hEFe you can normally adjust certain options to do
with how a program works, tn this instance., an option
to get Protext to run on its own screen would be nice to
try.
After that you are only really left with trying to
adjust any window settings from within the progtamp
or it is always worth checking that some other
background program or hack as some of them can
turn out to be, is not interfering with It. Other than
that, it would be worth considering an upgraded to
Protext %.

EMOTE DEVICES
Hi, I am Oiego &nd am writing from
j Argentina. I have an A 1150 with 6Mb and
/ would like to kno^ a couple of things. I'm
L searching for a game that can be played
over the modem, and I already have Skid
Marks IL hut would like to try something a bit
dilfefent.
A friend of mine has bought a CD 52 and saw a
cable that you can plug into the A1 2D0 and CD52 to
allow you to access the CD 52 with the A11CX3. Do
you know of this cable, and does it actually work?
Diego Waismao, Buenos A/res
'V
— ^ JT"^ '^ '^ always nice to hear from one of
y J" our farther flung readers, and
^ ' Argentina is pretty far flung. Games
that are playable over the modem, in the Skid
Marks manner, are pretty rare on the Amiga. ThE
only one I can think of off the top of my head is,
Knights of the sky by lyiicroProse^ Thi^ is a ver^
good llVorld Vl^ar 1 dog fighting flight sim
and reaHy looms along on a A 1100, as it was
written with the ASDO in mind. Other than that I
cannot think of any others, and even all our game
gurus were stumped.
With regard to what your friend saw, a couple
of devices came out that all^iwed the CD31 to be
connected to an A1200. This was via a serial
cable and using something like serNET which lets
you access the CD31 drive like any other
disk from the Workbench, f hey worti well but the
real problem with all of these is that they are
generally quite slow because of the ^low serial
cable.

'UQlSSINC MMU
I own an Amiga 4Q€0/t}30 and have been having trouble with tunning nut d RAM
when using my sound sampler and digitizer. A friend suggested I send off for a
virtual memory program from a PD house.
I folfawed the instructions whiich said it will woik on any Amiga with Workbench
2.x and higfier, but I just simply cannot get it to work. All I can get it to do is write a
Mb file to my hard drive and then crash, I hope you can help.
James Sergeant Sussex
y' If things in Itfe were only so simple. Unfortunatiety, the prngram insimc-
'~^\'-^^ tions are lying. To use virtual memory in this way^ you have to
^^^'\ liave a MI^U - i memory management unit - fitted to your machine.
The 030 version of the A4000 is the EC version, so has no MMU, and
thtreforep unfortunately, you will not be able to get the advantages of virtual
memory.
QI2OO ANSWERS
^ I i am thini
/ Rafter this '
-^ ber of qi
^i am thinking of buying an A 1200
■ ysar^ but there are a num-
questscins I arn confused
aboul that I would like answering
before I buy on^. I will probably be
using the Amiga for scanning and v^ofd
processing applications.
1. What is the difference between 2.5 and
3,5 iricfi hard drives^
2. Is there really enough room to fit and
ii^^ll t}nt of the abci/e drives inside the
\ Which do you recommend - internal or
KternaE?
4. Does an IDE hard drrve mean it is internal?
5. Art 'Over Drive' hard drive seemed to cost
Ihs and be more convenient and does not
invalidate the Amiga's warranty hf slotting
straight rinto the PCMCIA port. Doe5 this
Riean I cannot use the Squirrel Infterlace?
fi. Using SCSI CD-ROM d raves on the Amiga,
which CDs can \ use? Philips CQ-i, CD32 PC
CD-ROMs?
7. How good are the graphics of the AG A
chipset compared with PCs?
> ^^/ '^ would probably have b^en
^ \— easier just to say t«ll me
J^ f'-~: ^v^rything yllu know dhout
^ 'IDE drives and the Amip! IDE
stands for Integrated Drive Electronics, thi^
iiieafis that tlie bard drive interface is built
into the drive. So when irt comes to fitting
an IDE drive all you have to do is connect
it vvrth an IDE cable.
To answer your first two question Sr 3.5
inch drives arti, surprisingly, an mch wi:der
and generally a lot larger than 2.5 ii^ch dri-
ves. They also have a separate power sup-
ply and are quite a bit cheaper, due to
them being easier to make. The A1 200 was
designed to fake a single 2.S inch hard
drive inlernally, but it is possible to fit a
3.5 inch drive inside ^n AI2€0r although it
is qyite a sqLeeze and you nefd to get
hold of a special cable to fit it
I would opt for the internal drive, mainiy
because ft does not take up any more desk
space, and as long as the drive is fitted
by an authorised dealer you will not
invalidate your warranty.
The OverDrive hard drives are actually
IDE mechanisms, so IDE drives do not have
to be fitted internally. The main reason f<if
Qd quandary
I want to add a CD-ROM to my A1200, bot the information I am getting
I ^ j about CD-ROMs seems to be inconsistent. In reading letters about
J CD-ROMs, people seem to be having quite a bit of trouble getting them up
and running.
•J So, my questions arer Do you have recommendations ^ to brands that
dffi compatible with my system?; do I have to gel dri\i^rs, since I have WDifebench
3.0, From the AmiCDRom handler, or would they be included and be able to work
on the Amiga wfien I purchase a CO-ROM?; would the Squirrel help in conneaitig
rfie CO-ROM up to my system? Any other pertinejil inform^ation you might have
about CD-^ROMs w{3uld be quite helpful tQ me since I am sta^rting a^t 'ground lero.'
m^a^\ Wfean. ImMe Ulk
I think you have got a little too worried aboirt fitting a CO- RDM to
Your Amiga, fhe process should be, and is^ very straightforward.
You have probably got a little confused from other probleni letters
in which people are trying to add CD-ROMs to an existing
SCSI boafd^ II you already own ^ SCSI interface then it is necessary to get hold
?
Do Y<^u have a prsb-
pofierf o¥eF j^oui'
Amiga with axe in
band, spauimg pra-
fanity at the siubt&rn re f met of ^Qur ^Qftwi^re ar
hardware ta behave property?
Weff, calm down and swap the axe far pen and paper^
JQi down yQur proMem^, along with a description of yaur
Amiga s^tup, and send tt aff tQ Amiga Computing Ads^ice

the low price of the'DtferDrive^ is that they
use 3.i inch drives which are cheaper. The
big draw bac}( is that you will lose your PC
slotr so you will not be able to use any
other hardware that uses the PC slot.
In answer to question sin, the Amiga
can read any of these CBs but it can only
fun pro|rami which art written f^r the
Amiga. Therefore, you may be able to look
at file on a PC COr but you cannot run any
Kprograrns,
It is a Irttle difficult to directly compare
ACA to a PC system. HAM modes are
unique to the Amip and can be thought of
as a pseudo 14-bit display that only
requires i bilplanes. Therefore, on a dis-
play basis AGA is equivalent to a 2Mb
SVGA graphics card. Where it loses out is
on screen update. If you tr^ to rufi a 2SG
colour screen on anything but a low reso-
lution screeTi th^n AGA starts to show the
strain. If you th^n try a DbtPAi no flicker
screen in 2M colours, screen update
almost grinds to a halt
On PC systems the effects of running
higher resolution modes are much iess
pronounced, as PC video cards use video
RAM. This allow the screen tn be updated
by the computer, a$ w^lt as being out-
putted to the monttor for display. The AGA
chipset can only do one of these at a time,
and in high resolution screens, displaying
the screen takes up so much time that
there are very few ctock cydes left for the
screen to be re-drawn.
of the AmiCDRom handler software - this is public domain, so is readily
available. The installation is very straightforward - you just have to make
sure you pick the right device name for you SCSI interlace and that the
CD h set to the right SCSI ID. This is where people can have pmblemSp but you
just have to che^k in the manual what the device name is for that particular
interface.
If you are starting from scratch then I would recommend the Squirrel optionp
You get a pnoper SCSI interface, and the supplied software is setup to use a C[>-
ROM. If you purchase the CD-ROM with the Squirrel you have a ready-to-use
solution. Just rnstalt the software^ which is very straightforwardp and away you
go.
Currently, the only real bind with Amiga CD s^rffware is CD33 incompatibility.
The Squirrel comes with CUM emulation which is pretty good* but can still fail
lo run some CD12 games - however^ all other Amiga CDs will worfa fine.
Hopefully, game writers producing CD software will move towards writing
generic Amiga CD titles that simply act fike hard drive installed games, but
working from the CD.

easy to get up and running, and helpful doc-
umentatron speeds up the process stifl fur-
ther. The screen rs uncluttered and the intu-
itjon-styk interface means you'll feel at

features graphicaf analyses of transactions
(either on one day, in a week, or over a
month), lets you enter reminders, and keeps
d log file in case you accidentally after some-
thing and need to t>acktrack at a later date.
Afso included is Financial Accounts t.4,
which offers pretty much everything that
Ultra Accounts does, w/ith added ertras such
as VAT statements and an in^^estments

allowing total interactivrty and allowing the user to examine objeos from every angle.
The first of the two disks contains a fast and effective viewing program, some rather brief
documentation, and numerous e)(amples d what can be achieved. The second disk features
Navigator Titler, an excellent utility for designing flashy effects for use in videos and
presefitations. There's also NWipe, which altaws texture mapping onto 3D objects, and
can produce some reaify impressive effects.
To really gel the most out of the pro-
grams, a fast Amiga is required. On
my A 1200, running at around five times
the speed of a standard A500, things
can be pretty jerky. This is especial
true rf you decide to use Hi-res, inter
liced screensn or fancy tenure map-
ping. LTnfortunately, the programs
use integer maths so owners of
FPUs won't be at any advantage - a
nippy processor ^nd lots of FastRAM
are the only solution.
Navigator is shareware, but at only
a tenner a time it's well worth the
rTKjney considering everything it is capable
of. It has something to offer everyone,
and can be put to all sorts of uses, from business
to video work and even game design. Highly
recommended '^' '^••'flw J«^ o*" f«iJ<ii™

Tg iddress this piobiem^ and to provide
numeroys garnepiiy improvements, Oliver
Roierb wote FlCP-Ed, an earfy version of
which made its w^y onto an Amiga
Computing coverdisk some time sgo. It
enabled the editing of team ^nd driver
flames, car colout schemes and sochtiker
dnd allowed less patient drivers to cheart by
etnpbyirig thg driver aids even on the higher
^il! levd^
FIGP-Ed has Since developed at a phe-
rorrHeral pace. Version 3 enhanc-es the game
in numemus ways. It's nouv possible to edit^
imongst other things, -car set-ups and tarn-
era views, the [ap records, and the frame
rate of the display (producing smoother
graphics on faster machines). There are also
plenty of fancy additions: there's an optional
pit-lane ipeed limit for added reafism, plus
the facility to upgrade computer car perfor-
mance on various circuits, and ^ h^ody cheat
whereby your car's position can be
snapshotted at any point and then hec^Hed.
The latter function Is extremely useful for

during races, such as the time difference
betm/een your car and the cars in front ind
behind when you cross the stait/finish line.
Vou can even change the sound effects and
graphics should you feel the urige.
FlGP-Ed is shareware, with registration
costing £6. Considenng the hours of extra
interest it can add to an already dissic
game, this is an absolutely essential
purchase.

Qear down the wall
Produced tiy: Uition
Available from: 17 Bit Software
Disk No: 3907
Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall receives the demo
tieatment, with a rather scratchy sample of the song
being accompanied by plenty of fairiy fuziy graphics.
^^^^■^^^^^^^M Doni expect Cilmour and co to perform at CD quality;
knackered 70''s tape-deck quality is closer to the mark. Howei^r, some quite impressive data
compression has obviously gone on to squeeze this whole production onto one floppy disk,
so the low sample quality is excusable. (It also probably helps avoids copyright problem^..}
The visuals, if a little less than impiessive in definition, are at least a little more imaginative
and impressive than might be expected^ They're not stunning by any stretch of the
imagination, but they're passable.
Suddenly, hovyever. Another Brick In The WatI finishes and we're catapulted mto a rather
average, highly predictable demo featuring Eejdure-mapped donuts and cheesy tracker music.
Thb bizan^ turn of events h a little disappointing but unloitunately not entirely unexpected;
perhaps a sad indictment of Amiga demos in I99S. There are few surprises- left these daiys,
and demo pro^gramnners dp n't seem to be going out of ttveir way to hit us with them. Still, at
feast Tear Dovwi The Wall includes some music thafs not straight out of tfie Euro-cheese
dance stable

Avaitable from: 37 BiL Sraftware
Disk No: 392 1
This is a collection of Jpeg images designed
for greetings cards. The highly stylised
artwork is colourful and attrictive and the
quality throughout is excellent.
Some of the designs have vaguely fantasti-
i$l themes, whilst there is also a cute
cow and plenty of abstract
images. There are a couple that
you perhaps wouldn't sefid to
kiddies.
Maybe not the most use-
ful disk in the world, but
an effective way of show^
casing this artist's talents.

OWEROIDS
Produced by: Matthias Bock
Available from: 17 Bit Software
Disk No: 5920
Asteroids is the sort of classic that has spawned many imi*
tations. probably the most famous of which
Bloodhouse's Super Stardust which boasted stunning
graphics and a difficulty factor which made the legenda
hard Rick Dangerous games seem like a doddle.
Poweroids doesn't offer the same drop-dead gorgeous graphics - in fact, the visuals anel
somewhat dis^ppointirig. However, there is the added bonus of multi^-player blasting actior^
because up to four players can participate simuftaneflusly with a four-player adapter. \i yo«
don't own one of those little gijmos. ifs at least possible to enlist the help of one chum to help
destroy wa-i^ alter wave of ssteioids. There's also an excellent battle mode where players tty \u \
blast the living daylights out of one another.
Unfortunately though, youll only get the chance to blast a couple of screenful of asteroids |
into oblivion with this particular version, because Poweroids is shareware. The full version, with
scores rnore levels, costs 20DMr Somewhat strangely, Poweroids requires a 6B030 and 1 meg
of chip RAM. but it does
multitask happily (so don't
get worried jf the starfield
starts to fade, it's ju st MCPs j
screen saver kicking in).

Lefs see, the Amiga A!2O0 has been around for, what, three years
now? And Amos, infamous for refusing to run on any new machine
until a patch is released foT it^ has never been upgraded to take advan-
tage of the AGA chipset. Until now, that is. Fonnerty available for £10
from the now deceased AmigaNut^ PD, this extension can now be
obtained for E3.99, and whilst it's Still f^r from completion, it does
finally offer keen Amos programmers some AGA effects.
AGA screens can now be opened, the full range of colours is now
available, and a host of enhanced versions of standard Amos com-
mands are included. There are plenty of demonstration programs too,
so getting used to the new (and well documented) commands
shouldn't be too much of a chore,
Fully compatible with both 'Clarssic' Amos and Amos Pro, this has
been eagerly anticipated by many for a very long lime

Qamer's delight 2
Bfrttoni
Gainer's Delight is another
coinpilaiicn CD courtesy of
Schatifyhe, ard basicalfy its
based along the lines of the
Assassins disk„ This, too, is
also the second in the series
but there were certair flaws
in the menu system ther.
With this CD being designed
by 3 foreign corrpany, the translation comes across
drffererrtJy.
For example, i^nstead of platform games being rdened to
ds 'platform games', they were referred to as 'jump and run',
which in fairness is no real fault of their own, it jgst looks
odd. The cyrsor to select options was a very faint colour, and
strarning your eyes to make ouL ivhat you were going to
Qminet set 2
sefect was imminent Gamers Delight 1 has now made an
appearance containing 1070 games frofin different categories.
There are 70 commercial releases, so don't expect Public
Domain, and an example from the 'Jump and Run' category
would be 'Co Kevin Co' - sounds great. There are various
other games called Gardener, Rolferball. Willi Wacker and
Balls, t suppose that sums up the CD quite well.
No CONTEST
It may not be as polished as the Assassins serieSr but if s dif-
ferent The games may be unheard of^ and they may not be
of outstanding quality, but that s certainly not what you
expect for E2&J5,
Afthough the Assassins connpH^tion is the same price. iVs
double the quality, i don't think there's any doubt which one
you should go for.

Qetwork CD 2
The first Network CD arrrved
courtesy of Weird Science
some time ago, and now their
latest Networking CO has
finally appeared - faster and
far more powerful than ever
before.
The main idea is to join
together the Amfga and a
C0J2 via a cable from the Serial or Parallel port to the
Auniliary port on the CD32. This wiiJ give your CD32 a new
tease of fife as a remote CD-ROM drive. As most CD drives
are ape rated via SCSI and the PCMCIA slol the majority
Efnd to be quad -speed and almost instantaneous. Vou may
be thinking that because the CDS3 is only double-speed,
the file exchange rate won't be particularly good. Well, you
would be right, although on thrs Network CD there are
many programs to get the most from your CD32 as weJI as
the fastest speed.
Setting up is made even easier than before - a simple
process of entering the CD, bootmg up the machine, waiting
lor it to be ready, and sending all the relevant information
down the Serial cable. Then a pseudo-device entitled
[Network' will appear on your desktop. Inside here you will

find a CDO and RAM drawer, and you must remember that
they are only drawers and not devices. Once thi$ is set-up
you can change the CD in CD33 because it will override the
auto-reset function, then all you have to do is assign It and
away you go - it's as simple as that.
What makes this one of the most delightful packages is
that if you should move the mouse pointer off-screen it will
simpiy appear to have locked up. Adding another monitor
through the CD32 will reveal your mouse pointer moving
swiftly around on the other monitor, AJso, not only can the
mouse be transferred to the other machine, but also the
keyboard, as Mon as you moue off-screen.
I m PROVEfViENTS
Depending on your machine and setup, you will have a
variety of baud rates from 57,&00 to 1 !S,20Q, ^ni}
for a standard AT 200 you'd be able to get
away with 76,800. Theie are programs
such as SiD, for file transfers and
for viewing various formats,
as well as many other
Internet ^nd access tools.'
Vou can also unpack ^
various bootable disks'
to make the connection
procedure even easier.
The main improvements
over the first 3 re that the CD
boots in flTDund 45 seconds, the
CD32's programs can be run from
the Amiga itseff, the connection pro-
cedure is simplified to only a click of a
button, and you also get many anima-
tionSr games and images bundled on the
disk to kJckstart you CO-fiom usage - these
can alf be viewed or played through SiD, so
everything you coufd possibly think of has
been included.
Anybody wi^ a CD32 and Amfga should
seriously think about getting connected. If
you look at afl the CD-ROMs on these veiy
page$ you will see just what yoy are missing
out on. This is none other than an essential
purchase.

Qncounters: the ufo phenomenon exposed
There are so many ques-
tions about Lilology tti-at
most people are either
too scared to ask or toQ
sensible. People are
frightened with the
unkrdwn, and retently,
ah ho ugh having being
around for many yeai?.
aliens are beginning to steal the limelight and becejme
more befievabte th^n ghosts. Or are they the same thing?
One reputed feature of Aliens is that they can take any
form! Apparently.
What does an Alien look like? Does the government
realty communicate with ttiem? Was the Rosweil incident
a Cowr-up7 Havie places like Hangar 1 S stored ufol-
orgy? Who ire the Men in Black? Why do they
drive red Escorts?
All these questions and more are
revealed on thv$ brand new CD
called EncOLJrttera: The UFO
Phenomenon Exposed. On the
rear cower it says: Tliis CO con-
tains information that
MOBODV wants yOu to know.'
And this is perfectly tme.
However, don't take it the
wrong wayr thinking they're
stolen dassified reports. They are
merely documents people have
mariaged to lay their hands o^. Aie
they tnie? Nobody knows.
If the government did conrbe out and make
a speechto s^ that UFOs/Aiiens ^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^, ^^ ,^^ ^„^,,
existed, although there s really noth- mut^mr. ft wav bf«u9Ai 1 1^ n^ht hy a
world panic However, if ^ey manage to keep it as one of
tho« ^believe it or noT subjects, the public would have
fio option but to disbelieve it
According to a document in the CD itsdf, there are
over 70 recognised species of 'Aliens' or other beings.
The most popular of species has to be the 'Greys.' The^
are described as being thin arwl spindly, havie large baSd
he^s, huge dark eyes, two dots for a nose, and a small
line for a mouth. And of course they are grey.
After having read almost every document on the entire
CD, I now feel as though fm B^if^S to know quite a bit.
For instancCr did you know that the government are car-
rying out a cQverup as we speak? WelL it'^ called an
indoctrination, and it's a plan to make you disbelieve.
When a UFO sighting is reported, and ^s a major one
which the government can't explain, they filter it
thmugh to a popular medium - namely the
tabbids. They will then blow it out of
proportion - such as the 'I was
snatched by Pamela Anderson
look-a-like aliens!' story - so peo-
ple laugh it offn ^nd subcon-
sciously dismiss the whole
thing- Clever? I think so.
This CD covers every budding
urologist's dreams as there are
documents covering abduc-
tions, origins, cattSe mirtilations,
crop circles, landings, sightings,
crashed UFOs, and government
conspiracies and cover-ups,
Basicallyr the entire CD oses an
AmigaCuide and all the documents can be
accessed very easily along with a
series of pklures. Most of the CD is
means there are a lot of documents. However, each cate- 1
gory has its own pre-packed Lha file so you can instantly I
unpack it to your hard drive.
All the information on the CD h excellent 1t gives all !
sorts of docunwnts that are supposedly 'top secret' and j
some of the accoiints of abductions wriil send a shivw j
down your spine. The whde CO covers everything to cka]
with UFOs, especially offering explanations as to why]
World War 2 started! Hidet wars an alien 1 Ir, I made thai
up actually. It does sound like some people take it loa I
far, but after adualiy reading the documents, how can
you possibly not believe it7 This is the case whenl
500,00Q people have reported abductions in America j
and tfiey all roughly follow the same pattern. Spooky^
If you have a keen interest in ufology oi you're looking j
for some convincing evidence, look no further.

all these various formats come from diskmags

they will undoubtedly inform you of various

QUROCSENE 2
By noWp you probably know about under-
ground ctubs and places where ever|^one gets
together to 'join as one' and just enjoy life-
Mo restrictionSf no egotistical bigots - every-
body is free to enjoy what they want to enioy.
Euroscene is more or less an underground
Amiga scene, where various Amiga users get
together for parties and groupings for demo
showings, music and pictures, amongst other
things, and then general^ taEk about it after-
wards - on demos. Thaf s why you always get
a certain lype of text on demo scroHers which,
if you haven't been to a certain venue, you
won't understand. Generally, these venues
are held all around the country, althoogh
madnly in Europe,
This CD contains various files from these
particular get-togethers. Images, demos.

Categorisaticin
The categories are divided up into a Ibting
which is sorted by the name of the group.
You may recognise some of iheiti if you have
used Aminet or other compilation CDs. Most
of the larger files or demos are compressed
as a DM S format although there are many
ready-to-run programs and files. There are
also various graphic viewers, mod players,
text resources, programming guides and
many other useful utilities As you'd expert,
the quality of the demo/image/module rea-
lly depends on the respective quality of the
group- At the moment, the Polka Brothers
seem to have made a big impact ol thai
demo scene, ranking high iri the charts of]
many diskmags.
If you are into the demo side and geltir^gj
to know other Amiga users, then Euroscenftj
will manage to satisfy your curiosity into
these underground happenings. It's certainly |
good value for money at £9.99,

Cfeveland pofiice forcer
Colchester loo, hotels,
petrol stations, football
pounds and a multitude of
other areas all over the
vuorld, and at 3 fraction of
the cost of aEtemative PC
systems. The Amiga h$%
more than pnonred fct has the
capabilities to be used ir
such systems.
imageVisJon is a new product
from a companY based in
Sweden, and it k their intention to
produce and develop ImageVEsioin to
be^ at the veiy least, as functional a$ Scala
MW400, if not beltef.
The ImageVision package comes in a very
well presented double CD case. The actual
disk is on the fnsnt side of the CD case with
the eiftras CD qn the other. You do not actu-
ally need a CD-ROM drive to yse the program
becatise the entire ImageVision program and
basic tutorial are all compressed ontn the sin-
gle ftoppy. The CD ts just there to hold a far
more advanced demo script and a whole
ho$t of extras.
SCHTie of the ertras include a wide selec-
tion of ejfceflertt backdrops covering liquids,
stone and some mor^ surreal types, full-
screen Mpeg animations, along with a few
mtjsic modules and a lot of high-quality
sound samples. These are not all installed
with t!i^ ImageVision program but will, of
course, still be available off the CD,
Installation es very straightforward using
the standard installer, even though it does
take a while. A basic instalEatian wiFI only
require about 5Mb worth of hard drive space,
while if you go for the full installation inciud^
ing the hiit CD demo scripi this requires over
25Mb of hard drive space. Everything gets
copied into a single directory, apart from the
extra fonts and a couple of assigns that have
to be added to your oser-startup.
When you start up Image Vii$ion, the fir^
tiling that strikes you is just how good lodt-
ing it is. The interface even puts MUl to
shame, but just because something is good
looking does not particularly mean it is worth
having. This thing is going to have to be quick

The main interface consists of three basic
windows - the script, tools, and icon win-
dows. Using all three you can easily and
quickly construe! complex multimedia pre-

icon will always be the first icon you ha^

icons, each icon relalrng to the action you

Construction
JHe actual Script construction is don^ iri ai
tree-style format, with parent icons in the
tree having 'child' icons connected from
them. As this is meant to represent the linear
sequence that the presentation will take,
only menu iconsi are allowed to have more
than one 'child' connection.
With a menu icon, each of its child icons
would represent a possible selection in that
menu. All the others have to be connected in
the sequence they should appear in. To

The graphics editor seems to ha^e been designed wiA
the bask as^umptign that you mii be using a bad^groarrd
graphic which wJ iben hove your various menu choices
on top of that This is because most of the tooh a\/aitabte
ore geored towards laying out and presenting bto<ks of
fejiff ovef background screen. Moving said ^ot you ore
obie to hod in brushes ovef your background tjnd s^oie
these to any site you wish and fnoi/e tfrem to any position.
The moin tool box ovoifabte on the editor's screen
diows you to change the oppeoranee of tfie on-screen text
in a \,fariety of wop. Yt^u ore aWe to cfroose wbot font the
text should appear as, whether it should be freely posi-

Aioog with these, you can also odd drop shadows, back-
ground colour, text fill wlour, or appiy a bevetkd effect to
the text oil of which can take their colour from a scroliobie
colour seiection ut the bottom of the requester.
Once fejft ha$ been entered you ore free to move it any-

connect one icon to another, every icon has
a small white tail coming out of the top of %
and you just grab this and dra^ it to the icon
you want to conned it to. Hie twio icons will
then be linked in the tree.
Once icons have been dragged from the
fcon'j window irito the script window they
can be moytd around, selected, cut, pasted,
and if you double-click on them you can con-
figuie the various a$pects of that type of icon.
To help distinguish between similar icon
types in the script window, each icon can be
given a name that is shown in the screen
title bar when you place the mouse over iL
This way of constnjcting the script is excel-
lent. It is possible tn see the fonri that the
presentation will take straight away, and rt rs
very easy to change the flow of a presenta-
tion. I was a fittle concerned at first that a
large script would become unwieldy because
the tree could become quite large, but to
prevent this ImageVision has a couple of
tools to help you organise the script into
sections.
The first are the group and ungroup hjnc-
trons whfch help you package a selected area

some evidence of banding, but
look, c-o-l-o-u-r printouls for

No, don't print too m^ny

messfi'd up and yellow

ious green, but hey, who
uses yellow anyway?
And when I got my
Canon BJlOe, wow! Print
quality technically superior
to a Eiser printer, compact
and bijou, faritastic. But
Canon's new baby is as far in
advance of the BIlOe as that
was in advance of that sad old
Star. Apart from the Jack qI a
Postscript interpreter on board, you
could almost mistake it for a colour \
proofing machine. The BJC610 has the
small footprint innately typical of previ'
ous Canon bgbblejet printers and is
beautifully styled. The construction pf this
beautifully styled printer isn't half bad
either. When I had my BJ10 it was a lot
more rickety and pfaslicky than this one is,
although Canon still haven't been able to
get rid of the customary grinding noises as
the print head gets deaned^

will probably be able
to find third-party papers cheapei.
Canon has retained the cartridge me

No argumertE there then. Even so, tmost of

own to the Sis! and save them for future use.
Some of you migfit be quite surprised when
you look at the system requirements at the small
amount of merr>ory needed, because normally
image processing programs need as much
memnry as possible. tmageStudio gets round
this by implementing internal virtual memory
which allows the image data to be stored on
your hard drive, therefore taking up no memory.
The down side is ri^at all the disk access slows
down the preview redraws. If you do have
enough of RAM then you can tell ImajeStudio to
u^ the RAM Disk as the virtual memory storage
space to gain 3 large speed increase.

A rather unusual pfogram, AiniBraker is a asin-
piehensjife share manager, allowing you to
study and predict trends in ttie maritet and to
maintain a portfolio of shares. Installing is via
ttie Amiga installer and this copies all the nec-
essaiy files in to a ^ngle director and installs a
coupte of f Dnt5.
The main Interface is wonderfully pro-
grammed. All the necessary tools are at hand
iti icon form, and the list of Shares are dis-
played in a sooftable list view. The remainder
d tfie screen is taken up with a display of the
recent form of the selected share along wifth
any of tfte st^tistac^l analysis functions you can
choose. One e»ce!lent feature is iImi when you
select or deselect an analysis function, the
remainiryg windows automatiolly resiw to fit
them a^l onto the scr een-
Thefs are eight technical indicators of which
I know nothing about, but there Ate good
explanations of them in the AmigaGuide man-
ual allowing you to try and predia how your
various shares wil I perform. This runs alongside
a risk/yield map thai allows you to quickJy see
which shares give tfte best return at what risit-
One problem with shares is that iff you have
a good number of them in your portfoiio, or
just want to track a lot of them, there is a lot of
data invotved. Cutrenlly, AmiBroker only sup-
ports importing Teletext data from the Polish
stock exchange. The programmer, however, is
willing to nrodify the program for other coun-
tries, and is working on an ASCK irnport to
make importing share data much easier.
As with AmiAtlaSr this is better than mariy
commercial products, and at SIS is a gjve
sway. With an ejccellent complete English
trandated manual and a set of compt ehensive
features for trackmg the stock exchange,
AmiBroker is a brilliant program. It i$ a shame
that it may not get the wide use on ttie Amiga
that it deserves,

the various accept, undo and cancel buttons always being available and in the s&me place, no
ter what function you a^e using. All the infonnation on the Current pidur^ h always available in
top section, while tfie middle is used to displaf^ al
selected. This gives a good coherent interfate
which is quickly learnt and very easy to use.
Another nice touch is if the current image is too
large fof the screen, you can either hit the space
key to toggle the control panel on or off, or there
is 3 small gadget in the top right that allows you
to easify scrolP th^ preview screen ^rgund.
Where iPfi comes ovt on top Over most other
packages is the extremely good palette control
functions it pnovides. Fai^^y nornnar functions allow
you to adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma
available, but the immediate option allows you to
fldfust the palette in real timer so cutting out any
wait tor a picture redraw. Only the grey scale and
broadcast colour functions do not allow this.
Other tunctbn$ provided by LPR are mainly
restricted to warping or flipping the picture in
some way. tothing too Earth shattering here -
simple flips, rotates quite nice fish-eye and sine
wave effects that do not leave you hanging
around either
OvieralL IPR is a very well presented progiam,
quiclE to leam and easy to U5e. tJnIonunately,
other than the cqfouT control of IPR there really is
nothing here diat makes IPR standout There is,
however, a lot of promise and perhaps a new,
^rsion. would change the situation.

XECUTIVE
For anyone that h not aware, the
Amiga has a 32'bit 'multitasking oper-
ating system, and ha$ had since it
first oame out ten years ago. You may
have noticed recently that this was
the cornerstone to IBM's OS Warp
adverts, which seemed to proclaim
this as some sort of amazing feat of
programming genius. Sorry boys --
beat you to it
Executive complimsents the exist-
ing way Amiga DOS assigns processor
time to each program running on
youT Amiga. Mormally, the opetiting
system will share processor time
between the highest priority pro-
grams that are asking foe processing
time,
What Executive does is to watch
how much processing time every
piogram is using and shares irt evenly.
Therefore, eveiy program that needs
processor time can get some^ so no
single program can hog all of the
processor. If you read the documen-
tation that comes vuith the distribu-
tion archive - which also doubles as
the excellent on-line help - the
author goes into great depth about
explaining the use ol different
processor time sharing schemes.
Some are suited to low processor
loads while others handle high Eoad
systems better, and lo heEp tailor
Executive to your system there are six
different schemes for you to choose,
so eveiyone should be able to find
one to suit
To your average user pust u$ing
Wordworth, this is not going to be
amazingly u$eful, but for the power
user and people that have a few CPU
sucking programs running alongside
each other, Executive can be of real
value, It sits in the background
diligently polling each task, and
you will never know its there -
apart from the fact that your
programs will be running much
smoother together.

ASTER BLASTER
p«ople wtio do not know, Master Blaster is a
maje type of game. You start off in a grid
maze, trapped by explodable blocks. By drop-
ping bombs you Create more room to move
around in and when you get the chance you
can blow your fellow competitors to kirgdonn
come. Along the way you can get power ups
to gain more bombs^ bigger flames and other
handy abilities.
This new shareware version adds many fea-

original gameptay and the ability to have live
players on at once, the new Hrersion allows
you to adjust almost every part of the game.

ELUXE GALAGA
Another fiendishly addictive game, DeluKe
Galaga is apparently based on an old Vic20
game called StarBattle - can a Vic2tJ game be
anything but old? As with Master Blaster, the
programmer's main aim b for the game to
play welf, and Delude Galaga certainly
does that. Reininiscent of many old

earth cooied, the seas

Ep the planet. That Jife
^evolved (rom single cell animals all
k?3y up the food chain to the
jrs which eventually became extinct
for reasons still uncertain, Man reached his
aKEnd^ncy and irwented the home computer,
fef whkh more men desigTied iht sciftwar-e
imagine 3. Finally, Ihere came Dinpnerw from
^small company called Kryonijt and n^w we
nhesloiy.
Dinover^e is the name of a very cheap set of
designed for use with imagine J or
her based around a variety ol diriosaur^,
T1i«tfe are foui dino^urs in the pacbge rang-
i!!g f -Dm Ehe highlynletailed Velodraptor design
ic tne Iriceratops. En addition to these four
familiar beasties, there is also a selection of
prehistoric plants and insects, alttioygh, given
he diHerences in scaler you might never end
up using them in the same scene tpgether.
^XTURE MAPS
Hw objects themselves are not modelled in
superfine detaif, hut certainly detaH enough for
v.iiok- body foreground shots, except for the
kielociraptpr which filb a disk all by itself. The
lerture maps that the authqr has created for
Ihe models are nice, with larger-than-scre^n
5Jied bitmaps for good surface detail but there
ore no separate greyscaie bumpmaps foT that
Mhenti^ pebbly skin look.
This is wboify due to Imagine's deficit when
it comes to bump mapping an object with a
Kxlure. The reason for this ts that Irnagine 3
us£s the V-axis to determine the apparent
srtenE d ihe peaks and troughs of a picture
used as a bumpmap, whkh n>eans that posi-
tioning and sizing a texture in three dimervsions
>i«CQme5 an impossibility. To add insult to
injury, Imagine's fairly groovy states function
doan'l work properly with bumpm^ps^ SP
sihough you can set a slate you can't
lock \l down. This mfeans that instead
of the bumpmap moving with youj
object it stays in the same place, so
that ypur object moves through
the texture. This problem is sup-
IKKed to be resolved in Imagine
A, but as Kryoni;[ supply the
■abjects without bumpmaps, it^s all
much of a rrHJchness. In addition
r*
con
saur models, you will
also find several landscapes that
have been saved out of Vista Pro in
mo versions ss low and very low resolu-
tion (compared to the originals) Imagine
objects which would make a usdul back-
ground on which to place yoor saurian actors.
To finish off the scene, Kryonix have provi-
ded an animated sky map wtth 120 frames of
animation to overlay onto a doud object as a
transparency map. The sky animation is
extremely subtle, so don't expect to see majof
changes in the sky if you use it Also, it doesn't
loop, which is a shame, so there's no use mak-
ing your animations exadly 120 hanr>es to take
advantage of a loop-
The 1 Q disk ^ comes with a printed man-
ual explaining how to '\n^^\i the drsks (simply
copy them all into a drawer and assign it
accordingly) and more importantly, how to
actually use the ofe^ects in Imagine. The tutorial
provided ts written in a sparky, dear manner
and makes it easy br ewn the bar^ bones fif
you'll f Of give the pun) beginner to get to grips
with the awkwardness that is the Statfe lunq-
tion. One thing that must
be pointed out cs
that you

Digital dinosaurs still seem to
be in vogue even two years
after the release of Jurassic
Park. Frank Nord investigates
shoutdnl read the manual if you are one oi
those people who get incensed by poor
spelling. Numerotis 'their's for 'there's and
bizarre punctuation means that the manual
has a ie$s than professional feel to it^ and I
would urge Jeff (the author) to use a spell
checker before he does hi$ neat print mn,
Thin^ like this do make a big imprasion on
people and can spoil a very good product
However, at a ok* of only £24.99, it is hard lo
fault the 3n>ount of work that has gone into
the truly important side of this packap - tiie

®ne of the mos^t cornrnon prob-
I ems most new Ami gas have is
with the AmigaDOS cdrriTnand
Install- Install allows you write- a
kiQtblock offcto a fnrmatted disk so thai k
auto load when [he disk is inserted. Vour
bench disk has a bootblock.
However, if you only have a single drive,
m^g Install can be a nightmare. The prnb-
€ arises when you want to install a disk in
(the internal drive) but youf Amiga
..,is asking for your Workbench disk which
ii L<>en duly tries to install The Install corn-
is located in the C directory on your
■rkbench disk which means that the
fcefith disk must be in DFO at the rime
ih Install u)nirnand is e:itecuted.
Fortunatelv. there is a neat way round this
problem by using the Resident command.
■:'-^ident simply pre-loads selected files into
-rmory so th^t they no longer need to he
i jded iTom the Workbench disk.
Open the Shell and type in the following:
Ed i:Stirtu{)--Slquface
"iw will load up ED, the Amiga's text editor
f -rig with the text file Startup-Sequence.
Locate the first last Resident command and
add below it!
Etaifitrtt ^FlIL: CilnftiLi PgHE

^m m tmmfBi
Save the edited Startup-Sequence by
pressing Esc, x and then Return^ then reboot
your Amiga with the Workbench disic in DFO.
You should now be able to insert i blank
disk in DFO when Workbench has loaded and
nir the Install comma-nrf with no problem.

QlSGUISE [QJHICH FORMAT?
II vL"'U''ue used the Shell at M you will realise
hew boring it can be typing out long-winded
[gmmands. And if you rtiake a mistake you
-tg type the bSoomin' thing out again. Or
■ ^ems.
nee sg^in, Workbench comes to the re$-
lie Ihts time in the form of biases. An alias
I simply a label of ygyr choree that points
fft * cominand. Let me show you 3 better
iple. Open you Shell and type in;
^".^ill load up ED with the te?ct file Shell-
Smup located rn the S directorv- This frle
KtyaJly contains the current aliases and is
load^ every time yoy run the Shell. Gebvw
t\t la^alb$|ype in:

■ve the Shell-Startup by pressing Esc, x
iher Return and finslfy ciose the Shell
•iVnidow. Now open it up again and type in q
iotlowed by Return. The Shell should close
again. The alias has told the Shell to
ynder^and q to mean enddi.
ff^BfraiPRnwm^siP
Thanks to its user-triendijrtess, Workbench makes fonnatting disks a pain-
le$$ procedure. Just insert a disk into DFD, click it once, and select Format
Disk from die menu6,
If you look in the System drawer on your Workbench you'll notice an
icon called Foiiriat as well. By Tunning this program you are not only
restricted to DFO but can also format your hard drive, if you have onre, or
PC disks provided you have the PCO datatype in the Datatypes drawer
found in Denrs (short for devices, which is exactly what disiks drives are),
You can still use the same options provrded by the menu Format Disk
option but with the advantage of being able to choose a particular device.

QlSCUISE ^
When you first get your Woitbench the first
thing you want to dp is load it up and tfy out
everything. But being ton adventurerous can
have h pitfalls, I and many other Amiga own-
ers, have fallen foul of the scrolling Workhench,
In Screen Mctde you can alter the size of the
Workbench display and scroll to any areas not
visible in the monitor dimensions with the
mouse. Having a Workbench the size of
WemWey Stadium sounds exciting hut esfc up
precious memory. Whatever you do, don't save
the ScreenMode preferences or you may find
that when you reboot later on. Workbench
won't load because of insufficient memory.
This is not the place for complicated solutions
SD avoid it dt all costs.
QOTAL RECALL
Pressing the right keys is a precarious business when
you're new to the Amiga^ and making mistakes in the Shell
can be a problem. But by pressing rhe arrow up and arrow
down (cursor) keys Shell will allow you to recall your pje-
viously entered commands so that you can simply edit the
mistakes you made prevjously.

If yoij run out d foom on your Workbench desktop
there is a way you can mak^ the SCrecfi Urger. This
f^dly onPy applies to those of you using ^ proper com-
pufcef ntonitpr ind ncit the TV.
Co 10 the Prets drawer and run the Overscan pro-
gram. Select Edit Text Siie and drag the four perimeter
boxes to their outermost limits. Click on use and then
do th€ same for Edit Graph its Siie. Now click on the
Save button and you wifl find yourself with a larger
Workbench than before. You may need to alter the
screen settings on your monitor fn ordei to re-position
Workbench.

GREAT
RECOVERY
If you take $ look in the DOSDrivers dra-
wer in Storage youTI notice a program
cailed RAD. RAD is very similar to the RAM
disk and is faster than floppy di$k drives
aTid hard drives.
RAD is ai^tually a recoverable RAM disk
vrfiich keeps its contend ever when you
reboot your AmJga cif it crashes. The only
ttme it is emptied h when yoy turn
the Amiga on and off from the power
supply. Obviously, if you're running Irom
floppy disk RAD can prove an invafuable
ally.
You can copy files to and from RAD
by simply selecting the directory RAD:
or by double- clicking on the disk icon
on the Workbench desktop. As an
example!
i^py «AD:it3tfiLi u dfO^
)f you want RAD to automatfcally be
run every time you boot your Amiga ypu
can simpiy dr&g its icon to the DOSDfivers
drawer in the Devs directory. It's as simple
asthatt
QCONS
when you start to personalise your
Workbench and start designing your own
icons {everyone does it), you'll reafise that
the RAM disk can't have a disk icon attached
to it. This is because when you reboot
your Amiga everything in RAM is erased -
including any icons.
Once again, there is a solution. First create
youreetF an icon in Icon Edit and make sore it
is a disk type. Now save it as RAMlcon to
your S directory. Load your User-Startup fite
into ED as ei^plained above, type in the
following and then sive it:
This copjes your RAMlcon icon in the S
directory to RAM as disk.info (the name of
disk type icons) when Workbench loads
provided you have done everything right you
shoyld see yooi icon on the Workbench
scfceii with Ram Disk underneath.

Amiga Computing
FEBRUARY f 9 9G
When you first load your Wori<bench disk it fooks rather bland. This is because it is preset i
display itseK in only four cofours. You can change thts by altering the amount of colours in th
Screen Mode program located in the Prek drawer. However, you should be warned tiii
using more colours lake^ more of youf Amiga's memory and slovw down Workbench quit
considerably.
If you have Fast memory, using more colours won't be a piobfem and you can customisi
your Amiga to your heart's content. Just took at how ejfciting Workbench caii
really be.

Qhe right function
Above the numerical characters on your ke^-
hciard is a line of keys preceded by F and
numbered from 1 to 10. These keys are
normal I y used by games software
but Workbench also allows you to use
them through the FKey program h
the Commodities drawer in the Tools
directory,
When you run this program, a window
appears in which you can attach certain
events to any nf the f (Function) keys. To
create a new key simply press the New Key
button and type in F preceded by the kt
number Gy clicking orithe Command butfeofl
you can cycle through a list of optio
regarding Workbench operations. It is ev
possible to get a program to run from an J
key by typing in the program name and
focation in the Command Parameters boJ5.
To make your F key changes permanen
select Save Defined Keys from the mer^u.
You coufd even drag the FKey program to
your WBStartup drawer so that it runs ev^ry
time ynu boot your Amiga.

news
By Andy Maddock
No news shocker
Vs True, I'm afraid to
say, although we
ar& brimnnlrig with
games as usual and
we've even had to
leave some out! My god. what
Is hoppening! As far a& news Is
concerned, we're a little short.
By the Bnd of the month mv big
■■News' file Is usually brimmirkg
with foxes and transcribsd
telephone conversations, but
all I could find when i looked
wos a hairy half-eaten apple.
which I forgot aSI about - but fin-
ished without hoste.
But don't despaiiri There are
enough Doom clones coming
out over the next few months to
keep us going for ages. There
hove been so many, surely
everybody is losing track of
which one's best; Hopefully
well hovo a definrtive Doom
guide sometime during the
future when we'll be looking d-
every single aspect of eocti
game. to reveal the champion
of champions. Sounds exciting''
Probably not.
Why don/t you tail us whal
you think? Write to us of
usual addfess.
Weapons at the ready! More Doom. Marvellous
We con always rely on OTM for o bit of exclusive
news. Yes, they're bock with the i^ortest Informa-
tion on some new releases they've morkoged to
latch themselves onto.
First up Is a game entitled Watchtower which
is basically a top-down 'Common do '-style
arccrf© wor game. There'll be a simultaneous
two-ploy er mode, several weapons, three dif-
ferent types of terrain incJuding desert. Jungle
and city, six long and challenging missJons,
adjustable skill levels, ond end -of -level
guardians. Instead of it sounding like a first in
gaming entertainment it looks like the old
Qfcode 'Comnnando- re-vislted, jazzed up and
ready to roll.
The game's being developed by CyberArts.
Q name thot sounds famjliar, but I conl l^hlnk
why. They ore from Finland and apparently
are set to thrill and excite games players
everywhere.
A new breed
Guild hoi I Leisure have flnoily gotarounc i ■ ■ i.".;
ing their date disk fof Gloom. It's called SSoc
Deluxe ond features new levels, boosts and
sorts of things.
The whole interface has now been re-written
For example, you can now play via a modem
choose a screen resolution as well as a screen
mode, and even play In a Workbench windov
You can now use the virtual i glasses as well as vi
lous graphic cards. It Is ECS and AG A compatibi
and you can basically customi:se rt completely
suit your own needs. Finally, you can finally ploy
in super Hi-res.
The whole thing looks like a vast Improvement
over the tast and hopefully we'll give If a ft
iowndown in the next month or two in our Doo-^
special. Hurrah I

No sooner had Alien Breed 3D hit the shelves than
Alien Breed 3D special edition Is already on its way.
The programmer has managed to re-write the
origlnol 3D engine and managed to get the graph-
ics up to the level of Breathless and the brand new
Nemac IV. Uke Breathless, Alien Breed 3D will Include
minor additions such as being able to look up
and dov/n as well as mojor additions such as o level
edrtor,
There will be supports for graphic cords such as
Picosso II. and you will be oble to olter the pixel ratio
trom 2:2, 2:1 to 1:1. This is e^ential because some
people prefer to ploy fast on a small screen, or dismiss the graphics for a full sized
screen, It's all down to a matter of taste and opinion.
You will be able to load all the original levels from Alien Breed 3D into the editor
and twist and chonge them as much as you like - or even design completely new
ones. Not only that, you will be able to draw your own o liens, odd mission text, or^d
even make new sound effects.
From these screenshots It looks like this Is going to better the originoi Alien Breed 3D
ond that got 91 per cent in our review. Can the best get better? We'll find out next
month when we'll hopefully bring you a full preview.

more special then the
rest. For Instance, ttie
new virtual i glasses will
be compatible, and vir-
tual reality is something
whicti Doom on the PC
has yet to feature.
We saw this demo on
g recent upload from Aminet. The grophics ran ot a horrific
fate and the sound effects were the best yet on any ottier
Doom done. The explosions were pretty graphic and It plays
far better because you have to collect codes from various
camputers dotted around the maze to unlock the doors.
Also on Nemac IV you can select the screen size from
absolutely anything as well as the resolution.

Gloom competition results
Hurrah! We are pleased to announce that after
OTng ttirough the many mail bogs of entries we
tove found a winner to our Gloom competition,
ftdmittediy. It did take us around 2 or 3 minutes to
Cictually find one. And as we promised, we tiave
printed the winning entry.
We received some excellent entries Including
one from James Stansfield from Jersey who sent
us Q disk! Wow. tt was a very scary disk - it was o
grey. Clever that. When our Technical Editor sug-
gested we see what was actually on the disk,
ttiere was another monster! Blimey he's spent
some time thinking up thot.
Another good entry was Vbrkshire lad, Uam
Walker^s Ang^i of Death. He drew it from ojl
different angles and for a 13-year old it was a
crocking effortl
IVIichael Garcio's Aguantcs was also very
good. And there were three of the funntest entries
ever. Firstly David Torres from Watford and Javier
Ospina from New York kindly set us in their entry
form without an entry. Good try tods- but the
!heer audacity of it wilt win you absolutely noth-
hg And alttx^ugh Ben Finowski's enfry didn't
octualiy win, check out the witty humour. In sec-
ond and third place we shall award Uam Walker
orxi Jomes Stonsfield for their efforts wtth a copy
of Gloom.
Finoiiy. ttie winner is... Asa Margetts and his
marvellous Specie. Congratulations - the CD32
and Gloom witi shortly be in the post. Be patient

teieported myself into RPG land.
Apparently, the original come out around
1997 OS far as anyone in the office con remem-

waiting a iong. long time for this sequel. But their
patience has finally paid off and the game is
here, packed with enhancements and new
chai:i©ng©s.
The original apporentiy sold In esccess of O
quarter of a million copies and if this is onylhing

huge amount of interest. But we have to
remember that this was nine years ago and

It doesn't have high-tech graphics, and
neither does it have sophisticated

hard to fathom out - I mean the game-
pioy relies on thie age old Scorched
Tanks style and the graphics aren't the
most advonced, biut somehow it works,
and works very well Indeed.
Pie worms hove a charocter all of

this was o Bulldog Blighty version which
pitted England against Germany - not

'he programmer for Breathtess is called Alberto

vQrks OS Q musician ond worked out the map

Ilectabtes, and by that I don't mean Star Wars

look up or down at any angle to

iike Q drained swimming

Looking down enables
ycu to pick them off one

However- ttiere is a
' downside. The view is
quite difficult to toggfe
between and It's hard to
shoot everything ffom the one

the only niggle I can find. There i:s
one other but I wouldn't refer to it as
a niggle. You see. nearly all the walls pre at
right angles, grving the game much of o boxy feef.
but it's only when you actually think about it that
it hos any effect on you. By the way, f didn't even
notice until someone else kindly pointed it out.

The final word
Considering this Isn't the first Doom
clone, you'd expect it to be at least
above overage after seeing the other
efforts, and Breathtess Is above over-
age in most ways. Whether it will suit
your needs ts another matter. Although
there may be four different worlds with
five sub-wortds. It still won't reaHy last
you that long. Okay, so maybe it is a
challenging game, but you get q pass-
word after you finish a level letting you
carry on, so you could probably finish In
less than o week.
That's about my only grfpe.
Otherwise. Breathless features some
excellent graphics opd sound effects,
and it plays like a dream. This certainly
ranks alongside Fears and Alien Breed
3D - there's obsoiutely no doubt In my
mind.

After this, a cool guy on a computer-iik© swivel

When I finally got out Into space. I was

scrolling was extremeiy jerky, and I hod to check
ttiot o) the acceJerator board was in and, b) if it
was working.
What made my misery complete was that i
couldn't even get out of the game when
I wanted to - it was as if It had grabbed me
through the monitof and said "■ploy me!' i
couldn't put it down, probably because I was in
the hope of it getting better - either that or a
power cut.

sounds a little odd. I mean what possible work Is

It's a whole lot more complicated than you might
think, and there k plenty of work Involved as a
budding business entrepreneur.
Vou have 20 metres of beach and promenade
to do with what you want, plus the running of the
Pier Theatre, ond the aim is to expand your deso-

resort. You must buy shops, build attroctiorrs, and
keep the place tidy. Staff must be hired too. from
the lifeguord to the guy that walks around with a
sandwich board advertising the shows. Vou need
Let's go to work
During the gome you will need to hire
casual labour to keep the place running
smoothly. You should aim to keep your
beech and promenade os tidy as pos^-
bie and to do this you can hire Refuse
Speciolte't^. Don't forget to collect the
mor^ey from your shops and faclllttes -
you r:an send out your Cash IVlan and
the money will then be transferred to
your bonk. However, it may also be wise
to hire Wideboy Securities to protect him
whflst he's doing this.
The safety of the swimmers is impor-
tant too. so a life Guard con be copied
upon to keep an eye out. And when
you've booked one of the many talents
for your show, it pays to advertise, so
regularly hire the Advertisers to walk
oround the beach to tell everyone
about the weekiy entertainment.

©nnis games on ths Amiga hove never
really made an impact on the market,
h fact the only game I con remember
ttiot wQS any good was Advantage
Tennis - programmed by o foreign
company I ttiink. It was a ^rt of 3D simulotion/
coreer gam© using wire frames.
Recently. \ wrote a preview for another new
game coHed Center Court, and I moaned about
Tennis berng one of those less popular sports -
well, at least not 05 populor as football. And to be
quite tranl<. It's a bit boring as a spectator sport.
Alrigint. &o it may be good to actually ploy, but as
a spectator all you can do is wotch.
For instance, at a football match, shouting ond
lumping up and down like escaped monkeys
seems to have ari effect on the team you're
Th^ ch^rA&ter smlmei screen 9haw^
aU the chmrmGteri you can seJect
from iri*jr respective p&urtti'les
supporting and if they win. it teeLs like you helpec
them, If you try that ot a tennis game, the biota
sitting in the baby's high chair just tells you to b«
quiet - just so the players con concentrate. Wi
that's right you see, because football cricte
basketball and every other sport in the entire
world requires no concentratbn at alii No sir^
I'm afraid to say, It oil comes down to b-:. ^
absolute wet. Yes. that's what they are - v.'et
Ooh. It takes all the concentration in the worlds

Extreme Racing, a sort ol

Super Marto Kqii - which i.?
no bod itiing!
If I remember rightly, i
previously saw some
screenshots of this uploaded
to Amine. Back fhen H wosn't
signed to a publisher or any
thing, and to be honest, It did look
pretty good, it was titled 'XTR' which
obviously meant Extreme
Rocing - although it was spelt
Xtreme Racing. Gosh, how
we manipulate the English I
anguoge!
I was always a big fan of Super Mario Kart on
the SNES and when ! saw the screenshots of "XTR'
I could see a tot of similarities. HoweveF. Instead of
the excellent Mario characters. Extreme Rocing
featured different cars - a Police cai a VW
Beetle, a Ferrari, and more.. What made this so
much better than Mario Kort was that four play
could race at the :^am& time on one Ar^igo-
connecting two mochines would enable ei^
flayers to battle H out all at the sanne timfl

Get your mates round
The lost racing game I sow on ttie
Amiga was Turbo Trax and that was
pretty good, except it didn't really offer
anything new that stood out from the
rest.
As far as I know, the only gome that's
relatively similar to Extreme Racing is
OTM's Virtual Karting - and that's only
because the tracks are manipulated In
the same way. E)ctrem© Racing Is look-
ing far more professional than Virtuoll
Karting. and If a few tweaks are made
before the full version appeors. It could
well be one of the finest miulfiplayer
games of the yeor. Well have to wait
and see.

things to writo mbouiS
difficuify levels as well as cup races ond the
aforementioned championship.
You will be able to race around o series of
themed tracks including water worlds radioac-
tive world, normal roads, and space tracks
where you hove to stoy on the track,
presumably because you're in orbit.
As with Mario Kart, there's a battle mode
where you chase your opponent around a
track, with the idea of smashing him up - rather
thon completing laps. It's pretty similar to the
Mario Kort version whereby three l:xil loons ore
attoched to your kart and you must pop your
opponents bai toons. As it proudly states on the
in-game Instructions. It's Mario Kort - only not
as cute!' Too right mate.
The characters you can choose from are
pretty sketchy at the moment, although from
what I can moke out there is a funny bloke, a
kid. a monster, a policeman, q woman, a cool
guy. a Chinese man^ and a green monster. They
may change - hopefuily, they will.
Hopefully, there will be full race replays so
you can watch where you went wrong and
why, and thonkfully, Extreme Racing will be HD
installable.

Super MarkD Kort, wos and always will be. on© of
the finest racing gomes on any format - ever. If
Extreme Racing can be holf as good, then It
looks like Guildhall Leisure and Black Magic are
going to be riding high In the charts again, so
soon after their success of Fears and Gloom. All
you have to do is wait for the full review, which
should be next month - space allowing.
As for the actuol gome itself, f played it on o
A 1 200 with a Bllzzord 1220 and it was very
Impressive, especially when altering some
detail and playing around with the frames per
second.

The menys m Windows ore even worse wh&n il

The Atari ST'a operoting System is bosed around

all you hove to do is movt yovr mouse up to the top

case you don't know how to pafform this \eal, i
simplicity itself.
Try it For yoursefF by bllowii^g the example I
used. Open a window thoi usually contains i
wtttiout icons like the RAM disk, for example, h
hold down the rig hi mousfl button os usual to ac::
the Window menUj bul ins-ieod oF jusf letting ga c
when you ore over the right Opiion, click the ■
mouse button once iiisteod. Click the leFt rr^ouse i
ion on the 'sfiow all files' Iteffi first, ibefl on the 'v-
by nome' optiori- lostly, let go of the right mouse bj=-
ton wben you are on the 'salflci contents' menu ite-n
and \\m menu will disappear bock up at the top dI
the screen. Your l?AM disk window will rush about
showing tlie Files, changir^ fhem into te)d, ond rhpn
selecting ihem oil.
Now I know thoi ihis demonstrglron doesn't ocIl-
aBy Sflfve very many useFul purpoMs. but yok^ may
well have programs like PogeStreom that liave meni
opiions ihot con hove tick marks nexi to them to indi-
cate that they hove beefi selected. You cart no*
seleci more thon one option ol once, raiher ih.:>r.
selecting one, waiting For the operation to dcclt
going bqck to l+ie menu, wailing, going bock to tie
menu, and so on.
So let's have o good look ot the menus provided
by Workbench and check out whoi opti«^s they pro-
vide. While we are doing tiiis you will noiice thr
some meng options ore 'ghosted' - the lexi loob
funny. This is a visual indication of a menu item tfiat
cannot be used at the presfrni time. For instoricE i
you have no windows open or selected, Fhen the^e ss
little point En using the "show ail files' menu iienv, so it
is ghosted.

AmigoBOS has its roots in on operating
system called Tripos, much of which was
written in a language colled BCPt*
Amiga coders in general dlo not have to
worry about 6CPL except far the fatt
that it uses o form ef long word oddress-
ing based on the normal 680xO-style
mi^mory addresses divided by four* If,
thereforCf an AmtgaDQS fifncflon ts spec-
ified OS returning a BP7S, i.e. a SCPi-
type pointer, you have to muttiply that
address by four before y$mg
If on AmigaOOS function refurns a
BPTU, then any eqaivatenf deatlacotian
function will also enpecf a BPTR crs welL
This being so, it's usually best to store
these pointers in BCPt form and then
convert them jusf before use like this:

The trace instruction
The syntax of this instruction takes fhe
generaf form*.,
TRACE [symbol I stringS I [[VAIUE] expression])
which means that three basic forms of
the instruction exist, namely:
TSACE symbd
TRACE strings
TRACE [VALUE] expression
where the symbol^ string or expression
must either represent for redute to) a
posifi¥e or negative integer; or be one of
the options (or single ietfer abhrevio-
fioni §hown in table K Negativm numerrc
values J. incidenfaliy, indicate a 'suppres-
sion caunt% vifhich turns ARexxs tracing
off for a f iven number of clauses. A pos-
itive votue given during mterocttve trac^
ing indicates that a oumber of interacfiVe
''pa^f#f for input* are fa be skipped
over.
The tract output itseif can be sent ro
one of three places: Krecfty back to std-
out fwhffh for programs bunched' from
a CU/Sheil console is rhe CU/Shetl win-
dow itself I' to a file associated with a
standard error (stderrj file handle ithis
con of course be another cansoh win-
davifj; or to ARexx^s Global rrocing
Console (a special tonsote which tan be
opened using the TCO utitity program).
Before deciding where trace informa-
tion should be sent, ARexx checks for
the existence of on stderr file hondJe. If
yau have opened a window or file tied
ta this file hondfe, or have opened the
Olobaf rfdcing ConioJe (which is auto-
maficalty attached to stderrh fhen ARexx
will send fits mformotion to this desfino-
fioit, otherwise it will send its output
through the standard output rhonjtef
fsfdoutj. The benefit of having trace
informorion sent rhroug/^ a separate
chonnef f^ simpfe ^ it avoids having
trace output and normal program output
intermixed at the same window.
Of course, what we need now is a few
exampfes of iheie fatitkies in action to
drive home the ideas. Needless to say
this is exoctty what's coming in Ihe next

procedure. There ore three ii?i porta nt votues for

Y and z. The x and y are ihe rosiest to e^^plain and
underitond. Wiih % you can moveyoyr brush in tt>e

llie brusli in the verlicol (up ond down). \i you are
moving clouds or a shjp you would use ihi k posi-

usey.
Z is a different matter altogeiher. If you can
imagine a lii^e travelling stfo^ght through ihe cenire
c?f ycHjr screen, you will have discovered ihe z axis
Whe-n you realise ihat z moves brushes
closer and faiiher away it is easier lo visuolise this
imaginary hne. The position of a brush has two
uses - for moving objeds 0/ for camera pons. If
you move a car off screen hom o standstill then il
will be clearly obvious that the objed hos iii#if
fivoved. However, if you move an entire scene off
screen then it will appear ihat ihe camefa ha$ in

ot some ot \ht ways y^u can us« fonts far
^^H viftec tilling, I ihougKt \\ might be o good

HI Icihep ii 05 simple os possible for ihosa of you
wirii hhe yflorning, bwr nor yet the knowl&dge, to
add graphics ond tislei to j^^r own videos, such
ofl holiday filmi, weddings ond family events^
If yow have on Aniiga wilh its own coloiir video
oytpgk (skfch as ihs Amiga 1 2 00] fhsn you olreody
hove a machine with which yow con do simple
titling gnd graphics »0 video. You pfob<jbly realise
tksl ycMj^ can use eirher ihe RF or video outputs to
display your Amtgo programs on a suitoble TV^
bul did fO\t know ihai you can also use iheiii to
pi^ord the outpvit from your Amiga to video? The
iiinplesr way is to connecP ihe Al2CX]'s RF outpul
lo the- oerial inpul on your VCR, ond ikien monitof
il via yoyr TV in the usual woy whilst you record
or prepare graphics, though the picture quoliSy
won't be morvellous.
Crossovers
Add onothi^r VCR in pbce of (he Aiiiigo ond you

fna<e an edil Sfom your original video foologe,
Gitfing out all ihe wor^t pqt\%. If you wont lo odd a
title Of gfophie simply feconnect the Amigo lo ihe
rtosrd VCR |the one you're editing onio), use your
fcvoi-rile painl or tilling sofiwace 10 make your
graphics, and then record ihem. The qwlity of the
di^s ycMf'll ge1 wilh such o system will be rnlher
\\?' and miss, since there's no way to control iKe
*rQcy of lhe cmISh so 'glilches" are likely lo

RGB
HB - AMIGA MAY REQUIRE MODULATOR OR GENLOCK
TO OBTAIN VIDEO OUTPUT
Two ittftic MfMimmm for amfigiA Mtd*0 l#Cllnv and
be a camcorderf ond a IV or two (a secofld TV es
useful for cueing up the playback VCR^ though not
lolally ewenliall you con at leosi experiment wilh
video litling froin your Amigo,
Incidentally, if your VCR has Q CTomposite video
input in acldition b the slandard RF you'd be bel-
ter advi&ed ^ use it if possible, since lhe quolity
will be belter than fiF. if your video hos a SCAST
connector you can always buy o suiiable sat of
leods to connect froffi the Al 200' s phono video
oulput to youT VCR's SCART jocket.
Owners of mo-tt other Amiga s won'l hove i1 &o
Bo^y. Inexplkcahliy, for such.o DTV-friendly
machine, most of the other Affligas in cifCMilatiqci
don't have an RF of colos^r video ouiput, so youll
have to add one in iKe form of either a modulalor,
genlock or encoder cord, depending on your
needs, your budget and the ^pe of Amiga you
have.
Each of these devices connects lo the Amiga's
RGB port and converl lhe Amigo's native RGB
signa) to one Of more forms of video signal,
br instance RF, composite video, or SVHS.
Genlocks oHow computer g:ropf^ics to be
'keyed" over background video, enabling testt or
graphics to be superfmpoied directly on top of
video pictures. In simple termSn this meons thot
wherevei lhe background colour (palette Colour
Amiga CoMPuriNC
01 occurs, lhe video imoge will show through
behind the graphics, though sorie genlocks permit
other coburs to be used os iheif background key
colour.
Modulators and encoders simply converl RGB to
video and connot usually provide any superimposi^
lion or other genlock functions. They are usuoHy
used to iq\i^^ the Amiga's display to o TV or mpni-
lof, or to provide a vid^o signoi for fecording
and/or Kirlher manipulaliofi. Note ihot on encoder
will generally pfovide o higher qvalily otitpul than
a modulotor, iince ihey ore buill with video in
mind, rolKer ihan TV display.
If you hodn'l olreody realised tl, youll also
need two VCR s if you wonl lo use a genlock. One
VCR provides playback For the source video, whtch
in turn is needed lo 'gen loci' |in other words, syn-
chronise] the Amiga""* display liming to thai of the
incoming video i-ignol, while the second VCR is
necessary to record fhe con^posiled grophics and
soiirc? video from the genlock's ovtpui.
